Am I the only one who gets so moody/negative/etc when I get on the internet?
I realized this a while ago. Like, I noticed that I am a whole lot happier in real life. More calm, and.. Myself? I don't know. And whenever I get online, my mood drops.
Do you ever think which side of you is real?
I've been doing a lot of thinking today as you can see. -
I feel more calm/normal when I'm online. I feel more real when I'm online, where I can write out everything that I feel. I guess I experience the opposite of what you do, but my mood stays the same either way. It's just that I have more freedom to actually express myself on the internet than in real life.
I get what you mean though, when you say you wonder which side is real. Are you doing alright? -
I kinda feel the same online sometimes. Cept i always feel just as calm, but colder. I always try to be nice, but it shocks me how cruel I can be online even when Im not trying to be, yknow?

So would you say it's based off from the opposite side? For example, if you have a s---ty online experience, the real life is better and vice versa?
I'm not sure. Kinda worried that I'm lying to either the online world or the real world. I have people in real life who say they love the way I am. They would say I'm a happy and funny person to be around with. But when I get online, it's the opposite. I have people saying I need to change, or that there's something wrong with me. And yeah, I sort of make myself look like a bad person to be around with. I don't think I am as terrible in real life.
I guess it's because you aren't directly talking to someone? It really is weird.. :/ -
I think that online, it's easier to control oneself. Since most of my compulsions are things that you can only do in real life (touching things, saying things, moving things), online it's easier for me to talk to people. I don't have to constantly worry about my surroundings and if I'm shaking or being weird physically. So generally, talking to someone online is easier for me and a better experience than in real life. So yeah, I think most of my online experiences are better than real life ones, just because I don't have to worry about as many things.
Do you think that maybe you're going to take a break from the internet for a while? Do you feel you need to change? -
Ah.. Yeah, we are definitely the opposites.
I might actually take a break. I don't know when, but yes. -
I really hope that, whenever you decide to take it, your break goes over well and you're able to find yourself. It seems like you need it.
