Real life/online life?

[Mikaya]

Are you one of those people who are shy in nature and find it hard to socialize? and like to use the online medium from time to time? You can express yourself online but it you have to be careful. xD

Or perhaps you're super busy with school/work that you don't simply have time to get online. Sometimes personal issues come up and you have to deal with 'em.

I'll be honest, I don't really like meeting new people and I'm quiet and don't like to speak much.

The only online thing I go on is this community, and it's like an escape from the real world in a way. I do think I have way too much time on my hands (I do part-time work only and have a young child to look after though).

I'm not shy, but I find it hard to be part of an extended conversation because everyone around me has league football on the brain (La Liga la Liga bla bla) and I don't, and since that's all they talk about... and I usually don't speak unless I'm spoken to when with older people out of politeness. So I don't talk very much.

3DS Pedia is the only online community I've been active on for the past whole year. I love this place because it's full of nice people whereas people on most forums try to be rowdy in order to cover up their inadequacy in real life.

I like both my real life when I'm at school though and my online life is good for me.I socialize and have fun in both and they are alright.Life is meant to enjoy and have fun.Sure sometimes it can be hard but you just have to fight through the hard times.

I am not shy or something of the like at all, I just love gaming and being in touch with people. On the other hand, I did start getting into games a long time ago and perhaps one the reasons was (as you said) to escape from the real world for at least a while. I had a lot of problems at home with my father and brother, so the only thing I was happy to do was gaming and socializing with my friends of course. Anyway I can spend really long hours in front of a screen and I probably love it heheh

 

[Knight Rain]

I like both. I used to spend like over three hours a day texting or on social media or playing games or something till I finally realized I was just wasting my day aand making my eyes worse on the screen. Now I go outside more often but I still like going on forums like this or watching movies a lot of the time

I value real life more than online life. I have tons of friends and giving them up for a website is crazy

 

[Jeff The Killer]

I'm painfully shy in real life and I hardly ever talk, even with my own family mostly because I don't know what to say or how they would react if I said something. And not to mention I haven't really met anyone that has the same interests as I do and when I do I fear they'd get annoyed with me.

But online I don't feel that way, I feel like I can be myself, okay my true self and say what I really feel and think and not to mention find people that likes to talk about similar likes!

And not to mention who aren't afraid to be goofy and have fun!

So in short I'm more expressive online

Well this is one of the only places on that I actually try to be nice

 

[codyplays]

I'll just say that I'm am probably the only person within a 50 mile radius that has touched a copy of smash bros(litterly). So if that gives you indication nobody likes what I like so it's hard to socialize when I hate all the things they talk about and they hate all the things I like. This is the only place I can say do a barrel roll and people won't look at me crazy,that's why I love it here

 

[BlazikenX000]

I'm not really shy, more like don't care to talk about things that don't involve video games or anime, which sucks cause I'm the only person in my area who plays games (Nintendo ones at least) or watches anime. I don't really like going out much either.

I much prefer online communities like this one where I can talk freely about the things I'm interested in with other people. I feel much more comfortable being myself here than I'd be in real life.

I don't really socialize IRL that much. Although on the internet its easier for me to talk to people. Most of my social life is at school or on skype. School is pretty easy for me. I actually enjoy going to school. I am intrested in learning science and history, I get to learn programming, and I get to see my friends. Homework sucks though.

 

[Scyence]

I never talk online, I have friends, but even then, I rarely talk. I am painfully shy in real life, and im scared of everything. I am the guy who hates noise, and sometimes people in general. Online is when I feel most comfortable and I like to socialize a lot. Especially on here

 

[Shadow of Spades]

My Real Life is so anti-social it is that I never go outside the house (unless I have to go to school) and whenever I am in school and somebody tries to be my friend I am always timid with them. MY ONLINE LIFE IS CRAZY HEHEHEEHEH

 

[2071]

I am also a shy person , I like it in the internet to socialize it really interests me most of the time and talk about topics like gaming ( most of my friends at school don't have games like DS , ) On the other hand I find it fun to socialize in real life . I make really good friends and totally worth the time. Its like half-half

 

[BonnetteForever]

I like the internet better where i can get better help with my hard lifw

 

[Valkyri]

I talk to people a lot IRL and it reflects to what I do online as well. I just see talking here as an extension to what I do everyday anyway. I will say that I'm probably a bit more reserved online. Hard to fully open up when you don't exactly know the person on the other end.

 

[Bobcam7!]

I don't talk much mostly because the majority of people at school want to make my life a hellhole but online, I can just let it all go and escape the taboo of society and do what ever I like. But well, school and homework do interfere.
