Yeah, my life has been engulfed by the internet and the only people I know are online. I never get out and it's 3.00am in the morning and here I am, trying to get comfort from people on a random forum who don't even know me. It's quite a sad affair.

I think the internet is highly addictive and people turn to it more when they have nothing else to do. I can't believe I'm admiting this actually, I must sound like an attention seeking freak but yeah, never mind, not like anyone here knows me.

We're all strangers interacting with people from miles and miles away - people we probably would never had known had it not been for this damned internet. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

or neither?
People are people whether in person or not. Yes, there's a huge difference, but its just that - a difference. I don't quite know what to make of it, but I wonder what it'll lead to..

Oh don't get me wrong, it's great being able to interact with so many different people so freely. But it gets tedious and it's so impersonal that it can sometimes make you feel "unhuman".

I hear ya. I'm on the internet ALL the time, and the Shroomery is somewhere I go to all the time when I'm bored. And you know what? I don't know any of you either, and you don't know me. In fact, I'll bet you haven't looked at the name of who actually posted anything you've read from the first post, down to this one. But I still like talking to you guys. It's just a difference, like whoever up there said.

I have made an effort to look at everyones names, not that they matter, because they aren't real.

It's still making contact, and talking to people that matters. Sometimes we forget that real people are behind the image we put online. It's nice to make that connection with a real person once in awhile and feel good about it

i love the internet and the different mediums of chatting over the internet...i've met some real cool people by chatting mediums...i'll give you two examples...
one is Adom...if it had not been for MSN messenger we probably wouldn't be best friends right now...few years ago we were just acquaintances and we were booze cruising with a mutual friend and we found out we both liked the same kind of music and we began to talk over MSN messenger because we were both in school and hours apart...we began to hit shows together and talk daily and now he's one of my best friends...and now through Adom he has shown me the Shroomery and it has become very adictive and i am meeting some real cool cats from all over and i know he has been all over the country this summer meeting up with fellow shroomerites....
two is another girl who lives across the country from me...she was surfing Launch...a yahoo music deal and she saw my name and what i was listening to and struck up a conversation with me and we found out we like a lot of the same things...snowboarding...music...the outdoors...she's a surfer which i would love to learn how to do...now we talk all the time and i would consider her to be a very good friend...
the internet and chatting mediums may seem impersonable but it allows you to talk to people from all accross the country and the world...i play many games on yahoo and talk to all sorts of people...i am able to keep in contact with many friends through the internet...just need to experiment and get out and talk to different people and find out what you can learn...

I'm not dissing the internet, it does have lots of advantages. I just don't like the fact that it has become a lifestyle for me and there seems no way out. It's all very well and good but when it's the only thing you have it's depressing. This isn't all about the internet anyway, just about how crap things are at the moment.
I need a pint! lol

The internet isnt really addicting to me. Im usually out Playing guitar or getting stoned with friends. I only go on the internet at night. If you still have problems with bieng depressed then go to your doctor and have him perscribe you some antidepressents and then you wont be depressed and you will be fucked up
But if you just need somebody to talk to do the following: 1. download AIM from www.aim.com 2. make a screen name 3. sign on 4. go into a chat room

I don't think I'd ever take anti-depressants, people keep telling me to get some but I don't want to hide behind a fake wall of happiness and have to depend upon them all the time. I may be unhappy but I think like you said, they'll just fuck me up even more!
