I was like OK. the internet rocks, like everyone else. but now I'm just what is it for. can someone please guide me in the right direction?

Where is it you want to go? What do you need guidance in? Your life??

That's a pretty big order! Without knowing anything about you, or your likes or dislikes, etc. it's too difficult. You've got to supply some info!

if only we could move in a guidance counselor huh.. I once typed in "need a new life" in google search and the advice was pretty impressive. Ultimately you have to guide yourself and think positive.. But thats hard to do in a suck *** situation.. The hardest actually..

Well this very much depends on what you wish to use the internet for. For me its a life line - i do most of my shopping/banking online, i communicate with my partner who is currently living 2 hours away online and i like visiting sites such as these to both receive and offer support. I think most would consider it another communication tool. Hope ive been of some help...

it lost it's meaning. I found I am more alone ONLINE that IRL. And that's why it's sux because. IRL I am outcasted. ONLINE I am in prison.

Well this is just from my experiences, but I could be wrong.

Don't be afraid to talk to new people. If you have a facebook, go find friends of friends who you don't know. Don't be afraid to reach out to others. That's what I did this summer, and because I chose to talk to new people, I have started moving in a much more positive direction in my life. I used to havd the same problem, dude... But again, don't be afraid to reach out to new people. If you're like me, and you're socially awkward IRL much like I am, then Facebook is the next best option. That's how I met a few of my exes... And we still talk a lot, but I think that if you just branch out you will be in a much better place.

Sorry if I'm rambling, or if this isn't much help at all, but I wish for the best from you! ^_^

I am happy u r able to easily find a way to improve yourself. Thanks for your honest and open reply. I go on facebook everyday. it is what you say. there is a better place there. it's not real though. I never thought I would be a person who is so self centered that it controls me. I find that if I see it in someone then it is not good for me. I want to be the one who is given attention to not always chasing down eveeryone all the time. if I follow this path it is too bleak and I give up because I'm not fond of being alone all the time when the system needs to control me.
