Maybe I need medication, but chat to me seems like a party and I've been invited but am terrified to go because, "Oh, God, I have to talk to ppl...." I have "stranger phobia", I guess. I could never go into chat and introduce myself to screen names I didn't know...I only go in when I know other ppl in there that make me feel comfortable. Is that weird?

No, not weird at all.

I'm the opposite, much more comfortable in chat than on the board. When posting I find I type, read, delete, type, re-read, delete etc. and still I'm not 100% happy with what I've written. In chat I type, it's gone, no time to review or tidy it up and I prefer it that way
