I was going to say, I am a victim of this at times. For me, I fall into what I call conversational typing, where punctuation and spelling are not the most important thing. Speed is what is important...getting the idea out before someone else does, which is completely lunacy, I admit, but I tend to reserve that for in-game chats and the like when microphones are not involved.
People should be aware enough to show inflection within their words. If I don't use blue text and someone can't tell I'm being sarcastic, that's partly my fault for not being obvious enough. At the same time I'm also not too hot at displaying how mellow I actually am as I get called "mad" and "angry" a lot. If I take anything personally, my comment will begin with "I take this personally...".
In quick round chats I type as quickly as a programmer near a deadline, but usually I read my post before pressing submit.

With tone, I think that a lot of it can be the fault of the reader and not the writer. There have been times where I have written something, expressly saying, "I am not mad," and yet people still interpret it as such.
People's preconceived notions about the internet and what to expect when commenting on it can really encourage the idea that everything someone says is aggressive, condescending and violent in nature.

I've been having this weird thing lately where I'm not asleep, but I'm dreaming. And its not like daydreaming. I'm just lying there in bed, knowing I'm in bed and attempting to sleep, yet I'm having dreams and feeling the things in dreams (physically and mentally), but I'm not asleep. If I move I'm back out of that state, but otherwise I'm in this weird half thing. I also know I have been getting less sleep, but I haven't felt tired. I've also felt extremely hot at night when I'm trying to sleep, no matter the temperature.
My ups and downs have been a bit more sever lately too, although I don't know if any of this is related.

Once again I'll recommend you seek professional help.

So they can tell me I have mental problems, further lowing my nonexistent self esteem, leading to more social problems, and more than likely some type of pill that changes how I think? I don't like the idea of that.
It's pretty damn clear you have no desire to better yourself so no professional or non-professional help will do anything. Fuck dude. What do you expect?
