Chatting to people on the internet?

Post Reply New Topic

Compared to offline, I do find it slightly less awkward and uncomfortable chatting to people on the net. Yet I still find it difficult and get quite self-conscious at times.

Do you find it easy to chat to people online rather than in "real life"?

One things for sure- online nobody ever interrupts you while you're speaking!

Chatting online is approximately 39,000 times easier. Give or take.

It is only slightly easier for me. Because while I can take all the time I need to write out my thoughts, I over-edit and most of the time don't post at all. I usually think, "That is dumb or obvious." Or I panic about what the people who read it thought or if I said something that can be misunderstood. I don't like being misunderstood. But yeah, no one interrupts and talks over me. That is very nice.

I find it much easer to talk to people online then in real life.

It depends who it is - most people I would rather talk to online, but sometimes I love seeing people in real life, especially if they aren't online too often.

I find it easier to express myself in writing than in speech, so e-mail or text or even letters are easier and more comfortable for me than talking face-to-face.

More time to write things on the internet so you can say everything you want to say. Also, there's the all important edit button!
