Are you lonely? The org can take up a lot of time for some of us. Do you think that it's because you're missing something in the way of human interaction in your real life and the org (or internet in general) helps to fill it?
I know that sounds negative so I'll start by admitting that I think that's the case for me! ![]() I'm surrounded by people all the time, but I feel lonely, and there is some socializing that is just easier to do with strangers. I've always been quiet, I don't think I've had as many conversations in my life as I have had here. Maybe it's not just loneliness, but the internet actually offers a format that real life interactions can't. My Legacy

![]() ![]() ![]() Sometimes I think we're all lonely, but then I think maybe some orgers are just attentions whores more than loners. I suppose we orgers come in all types. My Legacy

I'm lonely, but when I go out and surround myself with family and friends and obligations, all I want is to retreat ![]() | |

![]() yeah I don't think I was ever part of a group before this. It's like a secret fraternity (not the keg drinking, fist pumping frats at colleges) But in some ways the org reflects my real life and I feel aloof here, too, compared to the "in-crowd" My Legacy

![]() so you are maybe more comfortable with this type of socializing? I actually LOVE talking and laughing and joking IRL - I get a huge kick out of it it's just that I can't take too much of it, I'm conflicted. Most of the time I want to be by myself | |

The org is an outlet for sarcasm and facetiousness sometimes when I've a little more in me than can fit in my offline life. That's just one part of it though. I wouldn't say I come here because I'm lonely. The org is just one outlet, one way I socialize, alongside others. There's lots of time in a day.

but you spend a lot of time here, too. do you think that's just casual interaction (And I'm not trying to judge you, I don't assume everyone is like me, and I don't care if someone wants to spend their entire life here)? I see it as something like the way i watch TV. Noting wrong with it, but when I am slightly afraid of the silence of turning off the TV, maybe it's not just entertainment anymore.

I know that sounds negative so I'll start by admitting that I think that's the case for me! ![]() I'm surrounded by people all the time, but I feel lonely, and there is some socializing that is just easier to do with strangers. I've always been quiet, I don't think I've had as many conversations in my life as I have had here. Maybe it's not just loneliness, but the internet actually offers a format that real life interactions can't. Interesting thought....

I definitely posted more during my single times. Probably just because I was bored, not necessarily lonely.

![]() I think it's interesting to see couples who org. I don't know if I could write quite the same if my S.O. was here, too. Not that I am terribly different here as IRL, but maybe I feel just a little freer to say certain things [in the privacy of the internet ![]() My Legacy
