A way to dilute and mediate the face-to-face encounter with the others has been for me in the past to belong to some little non focused groups, where partecipation in interacting or conversation may be only desultory and not obligatory. You stay with the group, who implicitly knows and accepts that you are “special” and do not expect from you a full participation in the social game. You may quit when you like. Students being in the place to attend a lesson, or to queue for a meal in a campus cafeteria might be some models. O going together to a movie theater. People know each other, accept each other, but don’t make expectations on you playing a part. Unstructered friendly groups possibly AS and NT mixed. Some café whith rules banning competition and aggressiveness might host these groups.

I decided to change my icon, being the nice one I used the logo of the English NAS, and I dont want to appear to have formal ties with the Nas, which is a very serious enterprise.

I liked your old Avatar paolo because it looked like two people reaching out for eachother (not sure what NAS stands for). However, if you made that stack of cards, that'd be awesome!

Sounds like a nice idea by the way. I already have that at my school. :)
