I got into playing one of these online roleplaying games of late the ones you pay $15 per month too, and I can't help thinking that this was a bad mistake. I keep saying to my self I'm going borrow deeper into loserdom and I should be spending my time doing something actually productive and with tangible rewards.

But I have to admit that this has at least helped me get out of the near suicidal depression I was in. It's better then doing meth, or spending hours and a small fortune gambling like some people do, that's for sure.

Now i understand why these games are so popular.

No way those games are heaps of fun and they are a great way to meet people to. You can join forums talk with people. I met my fiancee at a game site. Very Happy

I suggest you ignore this "ILoveTroy" prson. His opinion is not in your best interest. Online games ruined my social life. I can't tell you how many tests I failed because of my addictive personality towards online gaming. It provokes laziness and anti-social behavior. The creators could care less how your life is outside of their game, as long as you keep playing. I encourage you to try and get outside more and maybe join some local groups (especially a church) or anywhere where you think you might likely find friends. Just think about it. Who would be there for the hard times? For example, the loss of a family member. Would you take more comfort from a stranger miles away or a friends who's always there for you? Think about it.

Firstly, I am a girl and who are you to say that? That is what I have experienced you may have not experienced the same thing but that doesn’t make it any less valid. I suggest you do both but I found talking online with people helped me to think of things to talk about with other people in real life situations. I am glad I have done what I have done and because I met my fiancée online and it has given me some strength to do things that is necessary to survive in life.

I stand by what I said. Talking online will more then likely make real life conversations more awkward.

Wow, why argue.. what works for some doesn't always work for others. I am glad LoveMyTroy found help in talking online, more power to her.. for some people that may be their only interaction with other people. Regardless, something that one person may find empowering another may find disabling... Ben perhaps for you it is not a good thing but to say "not" to engage in something is just wrong it is more complex than that. I find it a little ironic that you are arguing this.... on a forum, online?!

Yea. Let's just let our fists do the talking. lol. This is the only convenient way to engage in an argument at the moment. I'm not dedicated enough to the subject to get in my car and drive to "LoveMyTroy"s house. We have a disagreement. Happens alot.
