On a fanfiction site. She commented on my story and later on sent me a private message. We started talking but let the conversation die off while it was getting flirty. Two years later she contacts me again and after a few days we're sending each other ridiculously flourished messages, poetry and pictures of our naked bodies. Couple of weeks ago she sent me a pendant, and I intend to return the favor later down the line.

Almost everyday I daydream about dying in different ways. I need silence and to be alone more and more. Also, recently 2 girls in my classes asked me how come I am always so relaxed, and I thought it was so weird to give that image when I’m always feeling like I don’t belong or like I’m detached of the life I’m living.

About once a week, I bite off my fingernails while I'm taking a shower, once my fingers have gone bland. I take pretty long, hot showers. As for my toenails, it's more like once every 2 weeks. Also under the shower, once they've gone soft, I sit on the floor and sorta peel at them with my fingers.

I'm not posting pictures, but it's the truth. And my toenails look perfect, just as if they were pedicured. I guess because the process of slowly peeling them is similar to filing, in a way. And I guess because slowly peeling them while they're soft from long exposure to hot water is much more gentle than the pressure that clipping them in their normal, hard state would exert.

Not that anon, but it's often more about self control/being in control of something in your life rather than appearance.
Not quite the same thing, but I think The Hunger Artist by Kafka is an interesting insight into some of that mindset.

Goddamn, you've expressed it so well. I can't handle this shit; it's the main reason why I'm so shit at making and keeping friends. Everyone I ever considered a friend ends up going away because I cease contact out of fear of being annoying, and that dread is only consolidated upon realizing that they are also not bothering to even try to break through my silence.

I can make friends easily, I just can't seem to form long term or close relationships.
I did have one friend (who I genuinely enjoyed being around even though we had very different interests) that tried to break through the silence and follow up with me, but I didn't let her because I was so ashamed of having to drop out of uni because of depression. And now I'm mostly better, I still haven't contacted her and feel so guilty about it.

We might actually be two sides of the same consciousness. I too have a relatively easy time talking to people, but maintaining relationships is an uphill battle for me; sometimes I feel like a whore on a non sexual level.
I also had a great friend once, he even frequented this board and while he was vastly more knowledgeable about literature than me, we still had fun, but we were both too autistic to keep track of each other and now I don't know anything about his whereabouts.
I'm also very sorry about what happened to to and your friend, anon; I can imagine quite easily how much it must hurt. She sounds like someone who was worth it, and someone attempting to reach me through the quiet has only happened once, but after she did we've been talking regularly ever since. It helps that we've never interacted in person so I'm a lot more comfortable that way. What I mean to say is, you should give her a call and catch up; she'll probably appreciate realizing that you remember her.

You're probably right, it just terrifies me although I know I'm hyping it up in my head as much scarier than it actually is. I almost see getting back in touch with her as the top rung on the getting-my-shit-back-together ladder. I'm not doing badly right now, but I don't think I'm there yet.

>but maintaining relationships is an uphill battle for me; sometimes I feel like a whore on a non sexual level.
I feel the same, and I hope we figure it out anon. One thing I've found is that time is an important feature in strong relationships - I find that I very very slowly learn to "relax" around people, as if, seeing as they haven't "abandoned" or grown tired of me yet, I can trust they'll stick around and I'm no longer trying to hard to please them.
But of course being around other people (who aren't related to you) long enough to build that bond is the thing.

Idk, I've been concentrating on self improvement lately (both /lit/ and /fit/-wise) for the past year and a bit, but I fear I'm growing more and more isolated from and unable to relate to people.

You're missing the point, there's a greater purity of feeling in taking things to their extreme.
>eating modestly
But where to stop? If eating less is good and makes you feel good about yourself, then why not eat even less to feel even more good? especially when people all around you are gorging themselves gluttonously, and there you are superior from them because you're abstaining from it. You are stronger than them because you're able to do what they can't. You derive your self worth from your ability to do what others can't - starve yourself. If you didn't, you'd be just like them, just as disgusting and greedy, just another slave to your urges.

I'm not anorexic, I just think I understand the mindset and I'm trying to explain it.
