bysometimes I reminisce about high school TF2 (regular and then eventually 24/7 pyro dodgeball) and garry's mod (creative and then trouble in terrorist town), and then I wonder how I ever managed talking with full strangers online. A lot were fine - the garry's mod people filled my friend's list the first time and I think a couple are still lurking in there.
But I can't imagine getting past my introvertedness now, plus there'd be.... new problems to worry about. some things are weird to reflect on.
