Why are you here?

Many reasons. Some days it's to go within myself and write. Other times it's to check on friends and offer support and encouragement. And then other times it's to completely escape real life and practice a bit of humor and smartassery. It's kind of like going to your favorite coffee shop or bar. While there are different reasons for going you always find that you are among friends.

I'm here, on earth, to show love and compassion to those I come in contact with, make a positive difference in the lives of others,to train my children to be men and women of integrity, and to lead by example. I'm here at SW to learn from, and have contact with, all different kinds of people that I'd never get to meet in person. I'm here to form relationships and make a difference, and I'm here because I need the communication/relationships because much of my life is spent rather isolated.

I didn't know until last week, but I'm here to change the world by helping one person at a time. If that peaks your interest, ask and I'll tell you more. Otherwise I wish you a wonderful and peaceful day.

I really enjoy meeting people from different walks of life than my own. New cultures, religions, life styles, personalities, loves & hates.I enjoy female conversation most, but have met fascinating guys as well. I started on EP almost 10 years ago.

Pass my time. I have no intentions of creating any type of relationships. I hardly speak to anyone.

All my friends are here! When I'm having a bad day I come here and something always makes me feel better

I do more reading on here than anything, I used to use all types of online chat but now I only use this and just recently signed up as I used to be on EP. I pass time at work, sometimes at home, reading peoples stories. Meeting people is also a plus as you get to meet people from all over.

I have some sweet friends on here.

I come and go to a number of sites.. chess, social, news, when i'm writing, I sometimes, [often] take a break from it and wander about the internet..

I have a life of near solitude. I need some chat time with like minded people once in a while.

To talk other people into same things as me talk openly bout things ive been through to make friends

Just passing time and hopefully meet some new genuine friends along the way.

I am really here to chat with new people and find a nice and caring trusting friend.

bored

Just for entertainment, though it does become habit forming.

I am really here to meet new people and have something to do while bored.

Thanks so much for all of the wonderful responses!

conversation,some reading and commenting,,,,

To escape my thoughts or to vent sometimes it's just for simple human interaction

I like to try and impress people and get my ego stroked. I like to stir up trouble and start arguments, and generally spread dissension and strife, and of course I love to shock, offend and disturb people. 😇

Share my experiences and to keep me occupied when I'm bored

To chat. Have fun and open up.

Waiting to go to work

Waiting for someone

I am here because I used to be on EP and it was fun, so when it closed...I have already heard of this place and eventually I decided to join SW in hopes of getting a similar experience. 😊

;)

? been 'chatting' among others online since the 90s (IRC) and it's an old habit.

comes in handy when at work, can't sleep, want to putz around... so on.

i miss the chat days that plenty sites that had chat and such which don't exist any longer so here i am.

In search of a good friend; a true connection with someone; fun.

I'm loving all of these answers!

I'm searching for a fwb in the southwest

I'm here trying to figure people out

same reason you are to talk to my friends i had ON EXPERIENCE PROJECT,,,,,IF SEX COMES UP SO BE IT,

lol, vent.

Mostly to answer questions, post stories, interact with longtime friends who are fellow immigrants from EP, R2T and AM, and possibly make new friends while here.

Trivial escape from the doldrums of being just another faceless cog in the wheel.
