Are you lonely?

This doesn't apply to everyone, but I have this theory that, for the most part, people who spend a lot of time on the internet, on forums like these, are generally very lonely deep down. They come online to seek company that they otherwise would never (or hardly ever) get in real life. They have a desire to not want to deal with other problems in their daily lives (school, family, love life ect), and do not have very good social skills. The forum is a way for some of these people to find comfort and escape their problems. Here, people don't care what you look like, the clothes you wear, or how you talk. (at least not as much)

And it's not just people who come online all the time. I admit that sometimes, I visit the forums to read random threads when I'm feeling down, and it does help to relieve the stress a little.

I don't know, maybe I'm just being a pessimist, but who else comes to PA because they are feeling lonely?

Come on' admit it! Admit it!

 

lol some1 is depressed and want to bring other ppl down

 

in a way you could say that

would you be on these forums if you were out and about hanging with your friends?


but there are other reasons for these forums
it's a great source of music and dramas for me CBC who can't read more than a handful of chinese character but can decently talk with someone in cantonese

and it's a place i can put out questions and ask for advice without having to worry about one of my home friends to see

sometimes you can be more open with people you've never met before

 

All points in which I agree to.

And kdotc, don't feel bad, there's also your companion, Ecko, that is always there (or here in PA) to support you.

 

always keep smiling =D

 

There is but a sliver of difference between bored and lonely -- the whole hang-out and chill never amuse me, unless it's with a handful really good friends -- so I would rather say I am bored than I am lonely. But I guess it's the same difference?

 

I guess Casshern is one of these people since he makes it obvious from his posts that he craves attention. -rolleyes

 

lol who doesnt crave attention... i go on PA cuz its the cool thing to do

 

I seek reaffirmation and reassurance through girls and the internet, because all my parents ever do is show it to me through money. I have never received a hug from them, or sat at the same dinner table with them in my life. They just solve problems by giving me money. I joined PA to post and make topics so that I can have undivided attention, but a lot of my comments are often ignored or derailed by talks of sex and porn. I feel that even the internet cannot help solve my problems of my parents not showing affection towards me. I am envious of others' families. One's where parents give their children unconditional love. I spend more time with my friends and their families than I do with my own. I cannot talk to my parents about anything, because they are always out working or busy with other obligations. The only time they ever call me is when I go over my 5,000 dollars a month spending limit. I spend that much so they would actually call me once in a while. Lately, they haven't even called.. They just bumped my spending limit to $10,000 so my bank does not call them telling me to stop. I feel so alone and depressed. Someone hug me.

 

aww.. come here dude.. I feel yo pain..

lol see thas why I don't fuk wit them rich kids... families all messed up n next thing you kno.. they out doing drugs.. -lol

no seriously.. I don't even know why I go on PA anymore.. could it be cause it's funny sometimes?? hell I wasn't into the whole forum thing.. but I guess I just made it a habit.. -lol. I guess you can think of it like reading the news.. cept it's a bunch of BS.. hahaha.. we're not lonely at all..

but those Myspace, Youtube muthafukas.. now they are lonely as hell...

 

I was kind of hoping it would be a hot girl.

...says the guy who invented the OFFICIAL YOUTUBE thread.

 

dude the youtube guys weren't lonely.. I'm talking about those 24/7 cam whoring kids on there....

 

pa increases vocabulary and knowledge and a dirtier mind lol

 

lol yea... we know you study PA more than you do with those books.. -lol

 

lonely... well it really depends how you look at it... mainly its because when you hang out it takes a pretty large amount of money ... when you stay at home you can entertain yourself without spending the money that you are already paying you can call it being stingy or cheap but for me that has been hanging out for about 8 years you sometimes really just want to sit at home and BS..

 

I was referring to this guy: http://www.dramasian.com/showthread.php?t=5002

The guy that enjoys watching those 24/7 cam whoring kids on his spare time.

 

wow i'm amazed
a lot of people i know that are banking that kind of money from there parents
they often have there own lives, and there family are there friends

hmmmm
i know i know
so see a therpist
and maybe if they see the charge for a doctor on the credit card, they will then come over and ask you what's wrong

HA HA HA, sorry

 

I feel bad if you are for real, but somehow I doubt you were telling the truth. =X
btw, the internet has never solved any problems in real life.
Good luck.

 

I know a couple of friends that go on this forum, it's just like another way to understand your friends more... like their opinion or you could almost say a different way to communicate with others
