I over analyze convos on AIM wayy too much and I think if someone says anything like hi instead of hey or um i think they hate me!! what do i do? I love talking on AIM but Ive had some bad experiences and now im paranoid!

I've been through that, when somebody was online pretending to be me I was very paranoid. You can make it friends only and block anyone who bugs you. Mostly, though, it's better to talk in person/on the phone if AIM really bothers you.

Block whoever says crap to you, because you deserve better than that. Talk to your friends when someone says something mean, they can help a lot, and I guess just try not to think too hard about what people say, because they're probably not thinking too hard about it.

Just ignore the people that are being mean to you. Talk to your real friends and have fun. :-)

I just think maybe your bad experiances are getting to you when you sign onto AIM. But, I'm thinking this sort of has to do with a self-esteem problem. If someone online doesn't like you, you get upset because you believe those mean people and then you feel bad. But, if anyone is mean to you, just block them automatically, or you can go to preferances and set it to where only people on your buddy list can instant messege you. Sometimes "hey" sounds like "hey, I'm glad you are on!" and "hi" may sound like, "oh, its you" but its not, if someone were mad at you, then they wouldn't say hi at all. Try getting into the conversation, get passed the hello, like this:
YOU: Hey
FRIEND: Hi
YOU: What are you up to?
FRIEND: Oh nothing, just going to get a soda
Get passed that so the conversation will go a lot faster and you won't feel bad. Just remember, everyone has been bullied on the internet just like you, even if they are innocent, you said that you had a past with bad experiances, so leave that as the past, this is a fresh start, the present, nobody hates you.

I'd suggest getting a new screenname and only giving it out to close friends you get along with. Talking to acquaintances online can cause problems...actually, talking online is one giant problem.

whoa, shit happens, but that doesnt mean you have to assume its going to! if it bothers u so much, then don't use it! its not worth it!

umm chill out thats why aim is bad sometimes you cant tell what people really mean but you could just wait til someones ims you so u kno they're not mad at you

are you like scared of people that you don't know IM you or what?..but if someone says somehting mean to you ignore them..they're stupid! you shouldn't be getting soo paranoid about saying hi instead of hey..they all have they're moments!..so good luck..and don't be afraid to get on! if you need anyone to talk to just IM me! =)

well you dont HAVE to go on. if your scared of some ppl in particular, block them. just dont take it seriously! <3
]
LOL. Ohh me too. Because "Hi" seems like "I'm mad" or "I'm sad". Well ignore your thoughts. Go on aim, and just talk! AIM wont bite haha. If you ever start thinking someone hates you...just tell yourself that thats really retarded and keep talking. sooo idk if I helped a lot...but if you want...you can IM me on aim // ilinerobsession // and we can figure out a way to fix it lOl!
