Raspberry said:

I really don't feel that at all. There are a few people I'm emotionally connected to but I don't really give a shit about most of you biggrin ... I mean that in the nicest possible way of course. lol

To explain: I care about all of you as you're my fellow human beings and we have more in common than most. But you don't affect my moods and I don't have a bad or good day based on who I've typed to here. There are a few people here I do care about greatly but even then there is very little real impact on my life, unless we've met, spoken or written to one another.


Sounds like you do feel that way, Raspberry

You say you connect to a few people. That's enough. Again, it doesn't have to be mad love, or anything like that in order for it to be a real connection.

There's a tendency to overstate the impact of these relations, but that doesn't nullify the ones we have.

It's not all or nothing. We make connections with a few people. That's a lot for me. And valuable.

Well that's what I mean the folks you have had more than a casual interaction with, or it could just be the amount of time you spend here or just your basic disposition. shrug I don't know. I'm just glad most people who responded don't feel the way you do, or else I'd really feel like a dunce lol

I think it's something to do with the amount of time I've been online within the Prince community and my age.

When I first started chatting I did feel very strong connections to people online, and some of those people I do count as real friends, regardless of whether we've met or talked on the phone.

But now I don't really feel anything towards the majority of people I see online. That's not to say a few people don't mean something to me. I believe that souls can connect whatever the medium. Whenever you meet someone on a similar wavelength, you will connect with them.

But I don't wake up worrying about anyone and I don't rush to get online to see how you all are. I don't hold grudges and very few words that are typed here actually have an affect on my day. Sometimes someone will type something that is stimulating, interesting or aggravating to me, and I think the value of forums like this is that you can learn new things. But unless it's on a topic I feel passionately about I'm unlikely to remember who said what or to judge any of you by what you type.

So, yes I feel a certain connection to some people, but it's very rare for anyone here to have any affect on my life.

Why does the org have such a strong emotional impact on most of us? I mean it's just a website right? So why do we hold grudges against eachother,stay mad at each other for hours after we log off, or on the up side, care about and love eachother so deeply.

It may sound strange and you all can laugh if you want to,but when my alarm clock goes off in the morning the first thing I do is pray, and in my prayers orgers names are usually mentioned. " God, Help Chico feel better today." "God bless Byron for helping me out" "God help Althom through his surgery" etc.

Why? Why do you people affect me so? Am I unstable or do you guys take the org with you when you log off too?

The funny thing is, I also say prayers for my favorite orgers, that god will always watch over them and keep them safe. There are times when I take things on here a little too serious when I know I shouldn't but I cant help it, it's just in my nature. smile you are also in my prayers Sweeny. pray

I think that there is a definite distinction when someone changes from being a screen name to having an emotional impact. I count many people here as friends, and I've pursued real-life contact with a lot of you. That said, however, what goes on here does not have nearly the impact on me that it did before. I haven't grown callous, I just think that I was immersed too much in the core of this place that I often would forget who I was. Those I deem friends can contact me outside of the org, so it isn't really a necessity for me like it used to be. I guess I've just "aged" with the community if you will and take it for what it is.

it scares me sometimes how connected I feel to some of the people here...

when I'm busy and can't make it on for days on end I find myself wondering what everone's up to...

same here...it especially goes for those who i've met in person. sometimes i'll be thinkin how folks are doin and hopin everybody's o-tay.

this may be a website first and foremost, but behind the screennames, avatars n'such there's people. biggrin



exactly...but some ppl take what is said on here a bit to seriously...that's a bit too wacky for me. When ppl leave the site because it's "Getting to them"...it's time to turn the computer off...and get a fucking hobby!!!

We're sayin that now, but trust me, when we get offa here, we'll all cry "Orrrg! Orrrg!" lol lol

So do you pray using their birth or screen names? If the later, how the hell is the big guy supposed to know who you're praying about?

Of course, unless he hangs out here all day... priest

The org is someplace to go play... no more, no less.

I love those that I have connected with here, sincerely. And those that I don't know I have respect for..

These people add class and love to the Org.
