I really struggle with this, not just with online communication but real life too. It's so easy to assume things and judge someone based on a couple of interactions.

Precisely what is lacking in today's world, compared to the time Internet just came in. Everyone wants to know everything about everyone, but just don't know how to get to know a person over time. No tolerance for words, No space for another to play or nudge, it is all touch & go.
Whereas they fail to understand that there is so much time and room to write to one another. During EP days we used to get healthy and wholesome personal messages and stories. But now, some pm takes 6 months to reply and all that I receive is just one word.
Nothing to blame the online tools. Just that people have become too narrow minded.

Well put. Completely agreed

I think you said that very well and I agree, but the reverse is also true - that your online chat friend is scheming to take advantage of you. It’s a different world from the one that even I grew up in, and seems to be evolving quickly. Who can keep up?

@Jill1990 [quote]that your online chat friend is scheming to take advantage of you.[/quote] that's just a phobia, as if everyone has time to scheme and take advantage, when most have little time to spare. There are enough avenues to evaluate a person and from the way they interact. So maturity is all about that, by just not falling for words but guage whether the words are reasonable.
