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. 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. | |

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. you are also in my prayers Sweeny. | |

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. | |

When ppl leave the site because it's "Getting to them"...it's time to turn the computer off...and get a fucking hobby!!!
