What aelsion64 loves about this:
I believe that we should not forget the basics The more advanced we become in some things The more primative we seem to become in others Remember the Book and movie Time Machine? Will we come to a point such as that where we accept being dinner?

On the internet, if you don't like the response you can discount the responder as a troll. Additionally they can only see what you put up, you control your image with a username or avatar. In real life you must show the real you and deal with the good or the bad inste...

Ok I admit I do find it easier to find like minded people to talk too online, who are all from different backgrounds Where I live I have come to the realisation there are no like minded people for me they are all victims of strict religious doctrine (they are told they ar...

So many people "live" on the internet in a way they would not otherwise live in real life.  They can be the person they always wanted to be, whether it be prettier, smarter, funnier...so many other different personas than they reflect in the real world. I&n...

What if we're initially more comfortable on the internet because we've all gathered here for the same reason- to search for like minds? Granted, when we go to the grocery, we may be like-minded, but the direction may be more personal than social. Not to say that t...

I suffer from pretty severe social phobia-it even extends itself to the internet...but I am usually the first one to strike up conversations with strangers. Its part of my defense. As for the internet, I think that it has taken over our etiquette and ability to interact f...

I agree with some of the comments regarding shyness, and, perhaps, social phobias. However, I think that it can be easy for strangers to make assumptions or to be suspicious of others. In my opinion, the "mainstream media" probably plays a great part in this, by...

It is easier, especially if you're a shy person. I, for some reason, always have trouble looking people in the eye, I'm not sure why, I just do, and thus it is easier to talk when I'm not staring at them. And as for most people, when sharing secrets, it's ...

There truly is no big mystery there. In the queue you could be a psychopath and right there. In the internet you can be too, but I can block you any time I want. Talking in a queue isn't socially accepted as it is viewed to be threatening behavior, but try to do the s...

People are more comfortable on the internet because of the outside influences that tell them they need to look, act, or be a certain way in order to attract people. Some only have words and they use them to express themselves the way they wish they could in person. Others...

I enjoy the internet to some extent, but I truly believe in the importance of the "vibe" that one reads from another person.  On the internet,  it is easy to be a different person for every situation, and no one will be the wis...

I agree with mountainmama. I think a big part of it is also self confidence. Many people lack the self confidence to fully engage another stranger, there are a lot of insecurities that can manifest themselves. On the internet there is no reason to be afraid, no reason not...

I think we are just afraid of involvement.  We are afraid of rejection.  We are terrified of intimacy and all that it implies.  If I make friends with someone at the grocery store, do I have to bring them soup when they're sick. What if they don't g...
