<Emptiness, lonliness, and boredom lead me here.<late night rambling> same here. and i hate it that our communications have to be all about the words we type. (but i'm in a situation of isolation right now, so it's better than nothing.) when you're in person you can let loose a little more and just be, enjoy another person's simple presence and smile, for instance..you don't have to rely on words solely to express yourself. you do sometimes come away empty..too many people, too little interaction. but the socializing here can also at times make you feel better (for me). maybe it's because i'm more extraverted than you are that i feel this. (i think adjusting to this board actually made me into more of an extravert..and it's more rewarding that way for me.) i'm not sure how accurate all this that i'm saying is..i just felt like rambling (like in the real world). i feel like i have to be perfectly accurate here, like you..not always fun, huh?..
it is interesting to think about what face-to-face interaction would be like with these same ppl..what an interesting exercise in human interaction that would be. i bet it would be totally different. there'd be the whole new dimension of facial expressions, tone of voice, speech patterns, body language, etc..words would melt into the background. any thoughts? (if i bored you, sorry..kinda went off on a tangent. just found the topic interesting.):-) hope this post doesn't seem weird or boring.
