I don't know if I actually have something, but I do know that I have been discontent with my life for some time now. I often avoid people, and whenever I worked up the courage to talk to people, the relationship usually ended once the people percieved that I was stand-offish; they didn't understand the discomfort that I felt being in a social situation. Also, I have noticed that I am prone to widespread pessimism. What bugs me the most is that these feelings were not always there; I was always shy at school, but I was never deemed "emotionless" by my peers. In addition to that, I never stuttered prior to high school, either. Does anyone else experience this?
