    well iv had to cut down the amount of time I come on, to hang on to the little sanity I have left. I am so addicted. I do like the way mizz has admitted that she’s is addicted, because she is. Don’t know I would call it addicted these days tho because its a way of life now. Life changes and its a fact, our life is changing. What we are doing is socialising, every day socialising. Once the internet is properly policed, we wont be able to Troll, abuse, or act in a unsocial manner, withought consequence’s.

    Some get to the point where online is their real life and real life is just a non entity.

    There are always those who will accuse others of being here 24/7, my argument to that is, they must also be here 24/7 to actually know to be able to accuse?,  but no, the accuser will always claim higher ground and moral standpoint lol which i must admit makes me giggle.

    i spend roughly 60-90 minutes a day in chat (if anyone is there in F3) i used to be more a pop in and out person through the day, it helped me to pace my real life activity and rest in between doing stuff ( i have a problem which means im a very bad patient). but because the lunatics were allowed to take over the asylum of chat, i no longer pop in through the day and keep my chat time to just early mornings. by early i mean between 5 and 8 am although im not here for 3 hours. i love a giggle and to interact with others, its “different” to meeting up with real life friends.

    All people that use chat have issues, even me. we are all trying to escape “something” mine (and this is perfectly true) is that i don’t handle being disabled very well after being an over active person all my life.

    :People use chat for differing reasons, some are lonely, some are angry, some need attention and flattery, some are looking for sex or even a partner. but on the whole no, i dont think its really healthy to use a chatroom more hours than you dont use one.

    you lose sight of what is real.

    To be honest…….chat in the purest sense is just another means of human interaction and connection. It’s only humans who interact on the net after all. You don’t see your pet dog or cat wanting to come here and have a chat…LOL

    Look at it like this….or see it like this or try to think of it this way……..chat sites are not addictive in the true sense of addiction. You want to be here or you don’t. What’s really the common factor here is time. I’ve known many addicts of many things over the years who are addicts in one way but make strong points in another and i think…well if you can be so strong in that area of life then what your talking about now is just down to weak will or too much time on your hands or lack of commitment to change your view point in a certain area.

    Addiction is a derogatory term in most ways. To be an addict in any way,shape or form, you have to be some sort of slave.

    Just Nothing for you to suggest I am in anyway crazy requires some mirror work in session! And this was not about nukes it was the Pixie from the Black Lagoon get it right SpaceBrain!

    Yeh some people spend too much time on chat they could be doing far worse things like flashing or basic nawty plop like zoning out and annoying the cccuunnn u know boat out of their neighbours?

    What really gets me is people who take chat to seriously like its real!!! But thats them and their own reality and good luck when the websites down and they get the withdrawls hahaha!

    it is ok to have addicton but it depends if it is to ignore some life prob/s or not, yes great having time distracting from life prob/s but it is prob not a perm fix, some addictions make people worse or just stay the same badnes other addictions, are good addictions like some hobby that u like, i am not in jc longer than 2 hours every day……………………………..yes i have issues, i wish certion trolls wud admit they also have prob, instead of using chat rooms to bully people as they can not deal with there life prob/s just as they have life prob/s it dont mean they can take there anger on kind chatters, but yes they cud have life prob/s but or and they cud have a personalty prob like – antisoical personilty disorder.

    what i dont get @ruthless is there are people who say “it is not irl” yes they wud say that being dumb, yet they dont seem to notice them people who have been bullied online and have self harmed and even killed there self, that fact is it dont matter if people are insulting people online or offline they are both = bad, people who dissagree with my why dont you talk to a mental expert, then see what your naive dumb opnion will be, also RUTHLESS we both have prob/s like my prob is my mirror looks like a fun fair mirror, one bonus thou it lies to me saying i am ugly obv i am not……. :mail:   :wacko:   :negative:   :good:   :unsure:   :scratch:    anyway any person who thinks it is ok to bully people for no good reason why dont you stfu and look are these dumb trolls are that is what they say and to me a lot of trolls are dumb and have mental prob/s   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASg8x9b2o0M&t=63s
