OK this is a rant about me
I can't ****ing think positively about the people i talk to in real life. but i have no problem thinking positively about the people who i talk to online. even though some of the people i know in real life i met them online first. Its like online i am one person and in real life i am the opposite of who i am online.
Yeah, I'm kind of like that too. I'm way more social online than in real life. I guess it has something to do with the fact that I'm not in direct contact with anyone. Most people don't seem to like me much, and I'm afraid body language might play a part in that. I'm as awkward as it can get.
I have not met anyone I've talked to online, but I think if I had I'd have the same problem as you. Body language and the constant stress of knowing what to say and precisely when to say it is insane. At least online you can think about what you want to say, and say it precisely the way you want to. There's no edit button in real life, sadly XD What's more, even seeing what somebody looks like can really change your entire relationship. So if somebody doesn't like your appearance, body language and so on, it can be really tough for them to get along with you and vice versa.
Basically, online you don't have to worry about your appearance, your outward image, body language etc. Makes it easy to get along. But then, maybe that's just us. Maybe not everyone has this problem... I dunno.
