Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

You must not have anxiety. It is almost debilitating sometimes for me to be on the phone. Text or email? No problem. In person, eh depends on how much of my social battery is left, but I can make it work most of the time.
But something about phone calls just doesn't jive with me. I am at minimum pacing a marathon while on the phone.
i don't have anxiety. i have every reason to have anxiety. i was an only child in a terrible school system with hyper religious parents at a time when the world was becoming more and more progressive, but you know what? i reached out to the people who i admired and made a human connection with them and i got over it, just like almost anyone else can.
and i'm a better person for it. if i had stayed in that shell, i probably would be severely depressed or dead by now.
