Talking in person/Online bad habits


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.

This isn't the real me, & I need help!

Use AIM for chit chatting with your friends. When it comes to things that are better said face to face, say it in person. Your problems, emotions, or anything of the sort should be said in the company of a person. AIM is not talking to a person, realistically. It is talking to words that are connected to a person on the other end. Make sense?

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.

hey, i think i get what you mean. well limit yourself to only 1-2 hours of aim a night. there are so much other stuff to do with your life then waste it away on a computer. hang out with friends, watch tv or movies, read books, talk on the phone, text, etc.
