I am sickened by my, what I believe to be severly limited brain. I have always been in denial. But even coming out of it can not help me get a normal functioning brain.
So what I want to ask is... I believe social balance is one of the most important factor in peoples life. I don't have it. I am scared, I dont want to be like virgina tech gunman. I say this with complete honesty and I am truly feel for the families that have suffered. I in no way intend to make a joke out of it. I am just scared that I can not live a happy life, without friends. Just today someone told me to "bury my face in the sand and pretend that I am not alive"!! I always feel like this is the way people treat me! I am sickkk of it.OMG help me please!

It sounds more like what you're dealing with is depression due to low self-esteem. Are you in high school? Everybody gets picked on in high school. Limited brain? Are you mentally handicapped? Have you been professionally diagnosed that way, or do people just tell you you're stupid? If you're worried about it, you're not like the Virginia Tech gunman. Everything I've read about him just points to a psycho.
Try talking to the school counselor, or any counselor. Somebody to help you work through your issues. The important thing is you seek help, but you're going to want to get it from professionals, and not just on the Y!A forums.

If your level of frustration is high enough that you think you could bring harm to yourself or someone else, then things are well out of hand. Seek professional help immediately. You cannot change how others treat you in therapy but you can change how it effects you and how you react to it. Additionally, you could be experiencing problems due to chemical imbalances which are not directly in your control. Everyone is important and all people have inherent worth and dignity. If you do not have insurance, there are several resources that are open to you. If you are a student, your school or campus will have counselors available. If you work, your employer likely has an EAP (employee assistance program) which you can take advantage of. Don't let yourself suffer through this alone.

It's good that you are able to be so in tuned to your emotions even though you know it is unhealthy. Don't forget what you recognize and consider maybe talkin to someone or doin something that will put your mind out of that state. But, beware b/c you never know when you will snap. Thoughts like that will get you and perhaps other people into trouble if you don't find a way to channel it. It is never too late to try to change or at least, like I said find a way to get it under control. Talking to someone is cliche, you never know it could help. But it all comes from within... you are the only one that can fix you. You are also the only one you have to live with. But you feel like the Virginia tech gunman.... god talk to someone, tell someone something. This world doesn't need any more unnatural disasters.

Your lament about not having a normally functioning brain sounds like a paranoid delusion. Your spelling is good, you have good sentence structure, and your plea makes sense. None of this suggests a "severely limited brain".
Coming to terms with this is another matter. You need to find a support group you can resonate with, a therapist and probably a psychiatrist for medication supervision. Trust me, if you go to an ER anywhere in the country and tell them you are homicidal, they will admit you to the psych unit for a period of observation. Depending upon your insurance and what state you live in, they may also set you up with aftercare. The medical system and the legal system are benevolent to people who ask for help.
Not having friends can be terribly lonely. Once again, try to find a support group.

Don't let what people say get to you. What do you think is making those people insult you for no reason? They're the ones with the low self esteem, and they feel they have to put others down in order to feel good about themselves. So if anyone has a problem it's them. Most people go crazy because they let everything get to them. Just forget the people who don't care about you because they're not worth the time and just appreciate the people you have who care about you. I'm a real quiet person, so I have trouble making friends too but just find some common ground with someone else. Find a way to connect. We all have some good in us, and everyone loves having friends, so if you want someone to be your friend...no one is going to say no to making a new friend.

People who say crap to you like that are jerks. It's hard to make new friends, but luckily there are a lot of fun ways and support groups to meet new people. I suggest getting involved in a sport; it'll help you stay busy and make new friends on your team. A job (if possible) can help you establish friends at work. If you feel like you are at your breaking point, go to a family member or teacher... or somebody you can trust. There is a suicide hotline (1-800-SUICIDE I believe...) where you can talk with someone if you need to. I've heard it's really helpful. Please don't give up on life, and remember how much pain those families are in. I know you wouldn't want to cause that. You're not a murderer. :)

If you are indeed feeling homicidal/suicidal please call Boys Town Suicide and Crisis Line: 800-448-3000 and talk with someone about your feelings. If you are just having a case of the "blues" get out and do some volunteer work. Helping others will not only make you feel good it is a great way to meet people and increase your self esteem.

You need something to help give you focus and to centre yourself.
Due to lack of ability to access firearms, I find archery a helpful thing but I am told that in the USA firearms are much easier to come by.
The people who tell you to "bury your face in the sand and pretend you are not alive" are part of the problem, not the solution.
Talk to a therapist/counsellor
Find yourself a good group of friends to hang with ... people you can just shoot the breeze with

Listen to your favorite music, go out more, not all people will feel the same way about you, chat with people, they won't bite you, just relax and enjoy life, you are not alone, many people do feel the same way as you but its just a phase, some make it out, some may take long. Just don't let your mind get to you, I'll be prayin for you, take care, good luck

Talk to the school counselor. Maybe join some school group to make some friends or volunteer somewhere. Volunteering is a great way to meet people, help others and feel good about yourself.
If others are teasing you.....I know it's hard, but ignore them, people usually put down others to feel better about themselves or to hide what bothers them about their own selves.
i'm not sure what you mean by your "severely limited brain". The way you are writing, you do not sound "limited" to me.
