Question Posted Tuesday February 20 2007, 10:55 am
Hello. My name is Whitney. 13/f. I'm getting obsessed with AIM. This problem is, I use to be super outgoing, had a backbone, can stick up for myself and others... I was known as the girl not to mess with. Now it's completely different. I feel that I deal with all my problems, let all my emotions, and everything else through AIM. So when it comes time to stick up for myself in person, I freeze up.
The problem is, you are using AIM to live your life. You are talking to everyone about everything via a little screen, and sometimes that may seem easier than actually talking to a person, you see how it has damaged your interactive life.
Start talking to people outright about your problems, or anything else personal, to rebuild your interactive skills.
Like I said, save AIM for simple chit chat. [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]
