Do you ever wonder what you're still doing online?

I don't know. I tend to keep on asking myself that question hoping to find some kind of answer but I never seem to do. Before I used to stay online for friends and some kind of connections, now not as much any longer and I'm not easily impressed either. Maybe my past experiences got me to this stage who knows. I just know I don't trust easily and I don't get too attached easily either and I'm difficult to persuade somewhat.

I wonder all the time. It seems a colossal waste of time, and it can jade you to a lot of things. Sometimes there are those redeeming moments and maybe that is why I stay.

@SW-User Maybe, in the end, that’s the lesson we all learn. And by not trying to understand we come out better in the end?
SW-User
@wyolatex Jeez. Yeah. There's stuff even about myself I absolutely do not think I want to understand at all. Just let it be and move on I guess.
wyolatex · 41-45, M
@SW-User Yep! Right there with you! I uncover stuff about me all the time and file it away as meh!🤷‍♂️

It's called passing the time... That's all
SW-User
@ozgirl512 True. But honestly in reality I talk to anyone wherever I go even in normal life. Maybe that's my biggest weakness in the long run :P
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
@SW-User I wouldn't call that a weakness... It's funny how the most innocent conversation with a stranger can change your life
SW-User
@ozgirl512 Indeed. I experienced that while travelling on public transport randomly chatting with some woman after asking for directions. Was a pleasant exchange.

I relax that way. I come here to see people dealing with their stuff or just goofing around and it brings different thoughts.
SW-User
@CrazyMusicLover Well. Sounds like a way to chill out then eh? :P

Friends and connections I guess is still my reason for being here, though they’re few and far between. Mostly I’m here when things are going bad for me, though being here doesn’t solve anything, there always seems to be someone who understands. I still question what coming here will accomplish though.
SW-User
@DHggmu It's probably just a way to kill time vent out thoughts share experiences but on a wider spectrum we will always be limited somehow.

I don’t worry about trust too much because I avoid investing myself emotionally. I guess that’s what you’re saying too.
SW-User
@StevetheSleeve Investing myself emotionally in the past was the stupidest thing I must've done. I thought people were different somewhat, I wasn't right and it doesn't matter but I also guard myself better in that regard.
StevetheSleeve · 31-35, M
@SW-User I suppose that’s life experiences, though tough ones. Those experiences make you who you are, but I guess the key is to not become too jaded or cynical. Just a bit detached, I suppose.
SW-User
@StevetheSleeve I still see myself as a sociable and pleasant person to approach so I don't think they affected me to the point of turning me like them but definitely being careful is one of my cardinal rules definitely.
SW-User
To be completely honest this is the only safe escape if compared to stuff like drugs/alcohol/bad company
SW-User
@SW-User Gosh no don't do stuff that can compromise your life or health :( It's not worth it.
SW-User
@SW-User Haha nope that’s what I meant, but yeah in the big picture I need to stop using the internet as a crutch for issues
SW-User
@SW-User Just be careful what and how much you spill about yourself that's all.
KENZtheFRENZ · 31-35, F
I don't go online as much as I used to.
SW-User
@KENZtheFRENZ Awww. I have a pet rabbit. Dogs and cats are wonderful pets to own and yes a dog I hear is time and financially consuming somewhat.
KENZtheFRENZ · 31-35, F
@SW-User They are, but I've always wanted one 'cos I love them so much. :)
SW-User
@KENZtheFRENZ They are indeed lovable =)
SW-User
I don’t have any Freinds in real life and I don’t really have any close online friends ethier
SW-User
@SW-User I'd be careful about having too much of close friends online and in real but having someone to count on isn't always bad either. We all need it.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
No, I know why I'm online and what I am doing.
SW-User
@MarkPaul Hah, good on you wish I had so much clarity for myself :P
MartinTheFirst · 22-25, M
I dont have real life friends so no i dont wonder
SW-User
@MartinTheFirst I try to blend in with everyone and anyone but yeah I see what you mean too. Hopefully you'll find yourself some friends you click with too soon. Being alone for too long isn't good either.
MartinTheFirst · 22-25, M
@SW-User i cant blend in even if i try lel
SW-User
@MartinTheFirst I get that. Not everyone is the same. But don't give up!
