Hi, Inkblot.

Fine observation on the purposes of online socialization.

I have been slowly going back into the real world and it's been great, actually. Had been wondering for a while if I'd be able to carry on a "normal" conversation in real life and it turned out that, yes, I am able.

Guess most of us still are but it can get so comfortable in here that we just forget about the other side.
Yet, you and I and everybody else should basically do what they want to do, what they feel like doing and feel comfortable doing.

Also, I feel that the friends I've made here and the support that I got here have helped me a lot with this transition.

Good Luck!
