Virtual people
I bet you know lots of those type. People who are very self-confident behind the keyboard, but when you confront them in real life they just get aggressive, because can't use their other personality. Feeling unsecure and in danger. Sad story actually ...
But with the growing "addiction" to different online activities this is becoming a real problem. Not sure if you noticed that. I did and it worries me.
I am sharing thoughts here, not lecturing or whining (which is pointless).
It is easier of course - why to struggle with the every day's problems when its easier to go online and do whatever you want without getting hurt or punished. Lately people just do whatever they want without even considering that there will be some consequences. What kind? Their family can't see them, their friends have @ in the address, their social skills become unusable, their interests get so limited that when the time comes to actually become active in real life (work and family) its hard to handle it ... Thats the beauty of internet - if you don't like it you just turn it off.
Just look at all the "meeting" and "find friends" websites ... 12-16 year old girls are "advertising" themselves with sexy photos and unrealistic posts. Why? Probably because its all about being "the most". Popular? Beautiful? Intelligent? Geez girls ... you are funny. :)
I like internet. As a tool. Its not the air that I breath, its not the blood in my veins and its definitely not my priority.
