I don't go to political forums, but I use the internet to avoid uncomfortable things too.
I am actually pretty anti-social at times, because I am worried what people will think about
and/or they won't like me, so I use the internet to form "virtual relationships"
so I won't have to risk being hurt in real life relationships.

Well, I've used the internet forums to re-enact abuse. Not so healthy. I've gotten hooked on battling it out with some very negative people who are very mean.
It didn't start out this way. It was innocent in the beginning. Now I see that one of the feelings I am most uncomfortable with is anger, and standing my ground. So a 'safe' way, my distorted thinking says, is to have on-line arguments--where the worst thing that can happen is I'm called ugly names.
It's not terribly 'B word' of me. B word is my faith--which I'm not allowed to freely say on this forum.
