You sound much like me. All of my socialization in life is pretty much done online. It beats picking up the phone and talking to someone. I'd rather talk to someone this way. I find more supportive people online, too. Unfortunately, I DO revolve my life around the internet. Like I've called off counseling appointments and called off plans with my boyfriend just so I could be online. My boyfriend wants me to go to his dad's house for 3 or 4 days. I really don't know if I could handle that much time away from the internet. I can't even handle 6 hours away from it!

Now, I do have 1 friend offline that I occasionally go see. We're supposed to be going there for New Year's. I'm dreading it because I can't be online...it's gonna be for about 2 days. The socialization in person scares me, I get really agitated and anxious, and want to leave. Is it to get online? Probably. But that's how I like things.

I guess if your addiction isn't causing problems in your life, then you shouldn't really worry about it. It doesn't sound like it's interfering with anything, so I don't see it as a problem. But that's just my opinion.
