(a) few, if any, activities, provide pleasure; (b) emotional coldness, detachment or flattened affectivity;
(c) limited capacity to express either warm, tender feelings or anger towards others;
(d) apparent indifference to either praise or criticism; (e) little interest in having sexual experiences with another person (taking into account age);
(f) almost invariable preference for solitary activities; (g) excessive preoccupation with fantasy and introspection;
(h) lack of close friends or confiding relationships (or having only one) and of desire for such relationships;
(i) marked insensitivity to prevailing social norms and conventions.
That describes me perfectly.....I might not be sane....

I think the word "might" is pretty important here.

monoid...I'm no Dr but I do know about mental health and some of those sound very much like classic depression symtons...(the inability to feel pleasure especially...Anhedonia...)
have you tried talking to anyone about it?...might be worth it....
(then again, it might just be the way your are wired...I'm similar in many ways.....)...
tell us more if you're comfortable with doing so.....

these things also set in after long periods of physical inertia, u need to get your blood running, kid. exercise helps mental health as much as it does physical health.
plus, you know things arent right when you identify with the criterion detailed in (e). some people also lose interest in masturbatory, sexual self-release. has that happened to you? if you get up and out to try to experience new things, or try to develop relationships, sometimes just going thru the effort of being more socially active will make your "awkward" feelings fade away eventually, more and more each time. if becoming more active in the aspects that I mentioned, a chemical imbalance may be to blame. either way, seeking some sort of conversational release (one of either a professional, friendly, or familial sort) to serve as an emotional release can't harm in any way. it is better to face and work thru the things that trouble you than to live with them and become increasingly misanthropic.
anyway, just get up. it'll help
..btw I love the avatar

"if becoming more active in the aspects that I mentioned doesn't help, a chemical imbalance may be to blame."
that's how that sentence should read

Dont feel bad about it its like prolonged exposure to Internet and message boards...the point is to treat it like propoganda...people always like to put you into their perception of how they see your personality type...what box you fit into..it doesnt matter its how you percieve others...just be yourself and don't gave a rats arse...
