I can't talk to people in real life, I don't know how others do it. I think it's nigh impossible to express the full range of human emotion without the availability of smilies.

Just practice making faces in the mirror when you brush your teeth.

On the internet you have time to think about what you are saying, and it's not face to face, so you don't feel like a douche if you happen to say something stupid. This is pretty much the only forum I'm actively (somewhat) involved in, and I guess it's probably my age, but I've always felt that real life interactions and friendships are much more important and rewarding. Blackout is right, a customer service job does wonders for your abilities to communicate with other humans face to face.


That's a pro of the internet. A glaring con though is the anonymity which allows people to do and say whatever they want without fear of substantial repercussions. RL interactions sort of forces people to be less douchy than they would naturally be.

BTW, that gamers movie looks quite good.
