2nd Life

Today i spent an hour or so on second life, i also spent some time on it the other day, so all in all i spent about 2.5 hrs. All i can say is i feel like i wasted my time. i guess its just not my cup of tea, granted people enjoy this stuff as its similar to world of warcraft, but to me it just seemed like i was rotting away in front of my computer. im in the middle of this magical world with a bunch of characters being controlled from who knows where interacting with one another. So as i was bored walking and roaming around i decided to start talking to people, and honestly all i did was really harass people. without being face to face with anyone i could really careless about who they thought i was or wat i was saying to them. the lack of actual human interaction puts less of a serious emphasis on the entire situation, i didnt feel as though the people were real because i knew nothing about them nor did i know if anything they were telling me was the truth. so without being able to fully relate to these "people/characters" i treated the entire thing as a joke and more or less made fun of people as i could have cared less. to me this kind of game is fine, but people who spend there lives on it are useless and get no social gratification out of it. how hard is it to sit behind a cpu in your own little space that you find safe and find yourself in your comfort zone and talk to people.....it isnt. these kind of games tailor to introverts and only worsen there problematic social skills. this is not for me id really go out to a bar and spend my time drinking and socializing.
