Well, i'm not really addicted with internet. We don't have times to hang out not just because chatting, etc, but also work.
And don't forget, we still can meet our friends from the internet and do chatting or everything, like in the real world. Only different place

I dunno if i would call it an addiction, I'm usually on the lappy when I'm at home, key word: when. Other than that I'm up and about with my mates and stuff. But the internet is sometimes a good escape, like on these forums. People don't know me, and I don't know them. I don't know if what I'm saying makes sense but just being able to change the mask I wear, or sometime's show this "world" my "real" face, something I can't do very often in the real world.

Even with all my friends out there in the "real" world, it still feels so lonely at times. And just being able to talk to someone you've never met, can relieve something the "real" world cannot. Yes, I am healthy, I am not mentally r******d or anything, and I have just beaten a few years of depression. Just need to find where you stand in reality, and don't let the virtual world be your only world.

But yeh I'm on the net a lot nowadays since I'm staying home as exams are approaching.

I am living it both

, Real & Virtual, both are part of my life and i am doing just fine too .

i never planned to spend much time on virtual world, but things shaped up the way it is due to the circumstances i had... health-issues , busy studies and now busy work schedules. i was and still very much a social person. i like to spend time with friends and meet new people and i keep doing so from time to time.. but busy schedules cut that off

, though phones and facebook kept us connected

but in the span of time, virtual friends became as important too

and so i spend my free time here with them but nothing happened over-night for me.. atleast not when its about great friendships. i take my time.

secondly, i love to work on photoshop and zedge gave me a platform where i can put up my work and share with people.

yeah there are other sites too but i am using zedge since i started coming online and its always been my best place. yeah, Im addicted now

but at the same time i do know where to draw the line and i never let my real life gets affected or ignored because of my virtual life.

I cant say im really addicted to the internet, well maybe i am but in a good way. Out there people know you that or some think they do and it always makes you build that "barrier" in which you would have to pretend and get uncomfortable etc.
At least on the net noone can give you that saying-something-look and maybe judge you that much. You're as free as a bird to do what you like and in whatever way you feel like.
Free as a bird.........(serve for the addiction!! )
