I Think People Are Strange

I've been chatting with people online since I was 14, so 7 years now. And I've come to love/ hate it.
You can meet some amazing people online, with great personalities and they're the reason I love talking to people behind a screen while sat in my pajamas and messy hair, not having to put effort into moving or even looking presentable.
But then you talk to people for years on end and you start noticing that there are so many people that are EXACTLY the same. It's as if they're soulless.
So of course, we have the pervs who are always after the same thing. And they can't even spell.
Then you've got your suicidal people, who always seem to hate their life because they can't get a girlfriend/boyfriend and will send you a paragraph of petty reasons they want to die. I mean, if they stopped relying on other people for happiness, if they stopped basing their worth on their relationship status they'd probably be able to do something with their lives. (Now this is for people online. People who are suicidal because they've lost a loved one, have money trouble, etc, they don't spend time online moping about their shit life without even being able to spell properly.)
And we have the self harmers. I was very close to a self harmer once, and despite the fact that he told me it made him feel better, that he was addicted to doing it, he actually started because his friends were doing it. I know that's not the case for everyone. But how dare you. How dare you mutilate the body your mother spent all those months making for you, going through all the horrible mood swings, the cravings, the hormonal imbalances, the back aches, the feet swelling, the stretch marks, the weight gain, the labour, the feeding, the nappy changing, the money it costs the raise ungrateful pieces of shit like you, how dare you mutilate the body that is constantly working so hard to keep you alive, that the second you cut yourself, your blood instantly starts clotting to prevent blood loss. Most self harmers tend to do it because of body image problems. Well that's all on you. You do something about it if you truly hate the body that never stops housing your soul. And what do they talk about online? How they do it, when, probably send some photos. And they always so boring. It goes;
"Hey how r u?"
"I'm good thanks, yourself?"
"really bad"
"What's up?"
"I'm suicidal and I cut my arm again, gonna have to wear long sleeves in case someone sees"
It literally goes like that, every single time.
And you have your spammers. Just block those.
The people that try to start conversations but take months to reply at a time...
Oh and there's the comments. Can't leave this one out since I'm probably going to get a bunch of idiots defending the proclaimed suicidal and self harmers on here, most likely themselves. The comment section is filled with the most ignorant, stupid people on this planet. They HAVE to be right. And they'll block you before you can respond because they're cowards and they know that they're wrong. I rarely comment on a YouTube video anymore because people are so full of hate on the internet, no one can have an opinion, no one can be open minded anymore. Everyone is brainwashed into destroying any creative thought that they see, because they refuse to accept any possibility that there is something other than what they were taught at school. Even though, wait for it, school tests your memory, not your intelligence. Got a good memory? You'll do well. Creative? Imaginative? A dreamer? Easily stressed? Well you're going to be getting D- grades. Anyway, went off topic there.
Hmm who else is there? Oh yeah you can't debate without the other person getting offended and blocking you after calling you something unintelligible.
And the guys that instantly fall in love with you and promise to be your slave etc. Get a life.

Sure people are lonely. I'm sure I've fallen into one or more of those categories in my life time on the internet. And it's shameful. Because those people are predictable. I have two good online friends at the moment. They have amazing personalities, and I worry that I bore them with my own. But oh well.

Well said, this post made my afternoon. (Coming from someone who's been in a few of those categories at on time or the other)

I have been in some of those categories in the past (thinking about it you already know this xD), but just want to say I could never find you boring, I enjoy every moment I get to spend with you and nothing makes me happier :D

I relate to this post since since it's been that long for me as well. Always interesting chatting with people from other states and countries.
