Re: Modem based people
Become more active in your community. Its healthy for your community, and its healthy for you.
I shouldn't be talking, but whatever. :D
Real life is wayyyyy more important than online internet life. And its more important to be yourself OUT THERE, than this place. Who's going to look up old 20 year old posts from you years from now? If you like to write, why not write and publish it. So that real people who actually do care can read it. Otherwise, the internet is nothing less and nothing more than a venting zone.
Re: Modem based people
Very interesting thread.
Will you believe if I told you that I just woke up from the floor right in front of my pc. I was too tired today (as usual) but was surfing/posting instead of taking rest. I think last time I checked time, it was 2300 hours. I just woke up to the Fajjar prayer. Went to washroom, brushed teeth and all. Came back to GS. Thought will turn off the pc and go to sleep but now Im posting this and it is 0500 hours.
I think weak people, who do not have courage to face the real world, real people are active internet personalities. I cant believe it is me who is a very active internet person. I have changed so much. I have become so weak. Im losing touch with the real world completely.
Re: Modem based people
Oh and not to mention, I have fever and full body pain right now but instead of going to bed, Im posting this. Real obsession you can call it.
Re: Modem based people

Re: Modem based people
Its fun to kill time online. I don't think its healthy to have net friends that are closer to you than real life friends.

Re: Modem based people
It is a good question, which one is the real you?
In real life perhaps you have the problem of being shy, misunderstood, not meeting people with the same interests to have a decent discussion about something, etc. Plus there is the obliged polite conversation one must indulge in frequently.
While online you can skip any obliged polite conversation and jump into any discussion, any topic you like. With one click of the mouse you are among people with the same interest.
Plus you don't have the fear of being shy or being permanently misunderstood, you can discuss, listen and learn as much as you want.
Which one is the real you? Hard to tell. I guess there is a little of the real you in both your real life personality and your internet personality. They are both you.
But it's true, too much time online is not good. I've been an internet addict too. But I'm controlling myself better now, finally. What works for me is, forcing my attention away from the internet by starting to do stuff I liked doing before I got mighty addictive internet. It really does work.
And you can challenge yourself by playing a game, when you really really want to go online see if you can controll yourself by staying away.
