Is it normal to be on this emotional rollercoaster?

Whenever I'm talking to people online, I feel elated, like I'm on the top of the world. And then when a few hours pass and they're offline, I feel the exact opposite. I feel all alone, I feel like the world has turned upside down.

It's almost like once I stop talking to someone, the loneliness slowly sinks in. I should mention I'm a complete introvert in person, not really having any "friends".

    That's probably why. You are just lonely and don't see people in person enough.

    Well from the description at least everything appears reasonably connected. I only "came out of my shell" after kind of forcing myself out of it. I just found people into the kinds of games I liked at college. I heard there was a videogame club and talking (stuttering) around I learned there was a subset for computer games. I ate my lunch nearby, chimed in every now and then and slowly worked up a tolerance around them. This was a group of about 10 people and it grew to about twice that with time but it hasn't bothered me since it was gradual. Anyway, long story short if you make the situation as close to it is when making online friends you can get used to it and it will be easier making friends with people whom you share fewer things in common with in the future.

    I'm a bit like you. I have no problem meeting people in person, but it seems like far more trouble than it's worth. Anyway, lewd crude IINers cut loose and let it flow. I like that.

    I think you should make some friends, real life friends. Or get a pet.
