If only people in RL spoke and conversed as much they do in forums , the world would be a nicer place.
Its weird people in normal everyday life ignore 95% of the people they say , without ever thinking to chat and pass the time with them.
But on forums people (myself included) will spend hours posting on some thread of no real importance to anyone.
Why??
When you’re on the forums, or in a chat room, it’s not a REAL conversation.
You’re not talking to someone, you’re typing to someone. In some ways, it’s making people less responsive to inter-personal relationships, but it has, like you say, brought complete strangers together at the same time.
It’s a crazy thing, I try not to think about it much. But normally, I’ll talk to anyone who wants to listen.
I think people are a lot of more talkative in forums, coz the ppl here have ‘probalby’ interests in common and are kinda the same…
I personally enjoy chatting or being on a board, because I can easily say stuff I wouldn’t say in rl… “It’s not that I’m shy or something but… :)”
Th ecity which I live in is a dodgey place. Bradford in the UK where there are riots almost once a year. Its not ideal I admit but you get used to it and I believe it makes you a stronger person.
People I’ve met in RL after talking to on the net for a long time said I was very much the same in person as online.
I dunno.
