Do the friendship dance, Scary!!!!!

But seriously: I know it's easy to imagine that nobody likes you, etc. Especially if you are a solitary type person by nature, and are hungry for friendship, etc., it is easy to imagine that someone not taking a moment to talk to you is a kind of rejection. But not every moment of life is a drama. Sometimes people are just too busy with other stuff; it doesn't always "mean" something. Try not to take things too personally all the time, because things aren't meant personally all the time.

I can tell you for a fact that grammar and sentence structure DO matter on a message board, because on a message board, words are the only method of communication.

Sentences are sequences of ideas. And the ideas are created out of words, and groups of words. The better you get at arranging those ideas, the more people will understand what you write. Practice a little, and you will see an improvement. Not enough people know how to communicate well with words. (You wanna study someone who wrote really good stuff? Go to the library and get some Mark Twain and read some of his stuff. It's great!) If you get better at it, it is a real achievement, and you'll have one more thing to feel good about. Go to it! And best wishes.
