Socializing irl is 100x better than online.

[Hozay]

Just started talking to my old best friend from middle school again after hanging out with him all the time when i was 14 and i was low inhib, excluded myself in highschool because i became a self conscious loser who went home to just play videogames all day and stopped talking to him like before. Now im starting to make more friends because of him (we recently catched up and are working out together in the gym), i was coping with online friends towards the end of highschool because i was too scared to talk to people again because i pushed everyone away. but i can tell you right now that real life friends are better and thats just facts. yeah you can find good friends online but most of them are just toxic tbh, its different when shits not face to face. doesn't compare

Too true over if you can’t socialize irl

 

[Deleted member 4612]

yeah true tbh. i remember reading a blog post a while back about this and one comment said "you need them both". (IRL and online friends)

Yeah bro, it's just so much better, socializing online for a long time fucked up my social skills irl. glad i'm not like that anymore. its just not the same, irl you feel a bigger connection and you're sharing a moment together.

If you ever get the chance, talk to them, don't be a stranger like I was man.

 

[TsarTsar444]

I feel very uneasy socializing irl cause of my social anxiety tbh, online feels better

The only reasons I never became solid friends with them were depression and not using social media, both of which I’m working on

I thought i had social anxiety, but it was really i just spendttoo much time online that it just made my social skills fucking shit. because in middle school i NEVER had "social anxiety" i would be the most low inhib motherfucker around, i'd get in trouble, roast females, talk to random people, i had hella friends who i would go to their houses too. its just in highschool i got addicted to xbox and it fucked everything up

Yes it’s tons better. Wish I wasn’t high inhib and socially anxious with aspergers tbh. Sucks when everyone is talking to their friends but you just sit there alone like an idiot on the phone. I had a lot of friends as a kid tho and I miss that, but my story is the same as you. Became a reclusive in middle school and lost friends and only played games

 

[Mouthbreath]

tbh you're missing out on the touch and smell

You can still break out of it like I did, if your case is the same as mind, but just spending to much time online and playing videogames caused me to become a social retard. i wasn't always like that. you aren't alone theres alot of people in our situation bro.

Jfl same, i was a very happy, unanxious, low inhib kid in middle school, but around the last 2 years in middle school i got addicted to some mmorpgs and spents my whole life on these games, when i started high school i was legit a complete aspie

it's a really fucking lonely feeling man. especially when you know that you're a social person. if i could go back in time i would of never gotten so addicted to videogames

How long did it take to break out of?

How long did it take to break out of?

at the end of highschool, freshman through junior year i was just a social wreck because of playing videogames 24/7, had to get out of my comfort zone again. The more you talk to socialize to people, the better you get at it, simple as that. being inside and playing videogames all the time wasnt doing me any good

It is because they can see you from all angle, voice, height and personality.

 

[court monarch777]

yeah you can find good friends online but most of them are just toxic tbh,

toxic jfl

 

[Hozay]

Online friends are not true friends. Most of them are fucking toxic.
