In one site where I write, someone asked me about my opinion if true ‘relationship’ works and develops in chats or other social networks…and it stirred different reactions from the readers. As for me, I have laid few points… Virtual world has become an essential part of both men and women’s social life now a days. This is especially true to those who do not have the time to interact with people in person or those who are just too far away. On several occasions, it has also become a means of expression for those who are finding it difficult to introduce themselves in person but not necessarily because they don’t have social skills…The reality is, whether we like it or not, emails, websites, and chat rooms do really work sometimes. Otherwise, we will not have witnessed Yahoo Messenger, MSN, Facebook, Friendster, MySpace, Twitter’s and not to mention, the thousands of chatrooms and blogs’ mounting success and popularity. It is mostly because online socialising sort out distance dimension which lessens the limitations in exchange of thoughts and self expressions. It has an undisputed reach which gives everyone a chance to experience a bit of each other’s culture through universal language. It gives someone freedom to communicate in our own pace; it is convenient, effective, and inexpensive way of meeting friends, talking to people and perhaps finding a date for some people…buzz
I know a friend who has tried this means of finding a date and she is having this adventure of getting into the limelight of virtual socialising. She admits that she haven’t got the means of spending time and effort to socialise to find a date because she has a reserved personality and most of all she has not got the patience and the time to put up with dates. She also expresses herself more when she has a time to write it no matter how vague it is. Chat rooms, websites, blogging, and some other online means have become her diversion. It gives her the convenience of knowing what is happening across miles with her friends and edge to meet new people as well. She would compare social networks or chatrooms into actual places where one could meet potential friends so to speak…In a matter of time, she have met interesting people online having different issues and characters, hear their heart outs and that challenges her most. She chats with people and friends who are there to listen, give resources for research, share information, and exchange views and opinions. She said she particularly likes virtual socialising as it asks no demand in time especially when one is so busy. But could have been a drawback of being hooked online?I would say that one must also watch out for some cyber world’s dirty tricks. Some people would chat for benefit, money, or other gains or do it extremely below the lines, Nevertheless only 25% of a person’s character is what we can judge and perceive in chatting or talking online
Meeting virtual friends in person, need to have cautious planning and decision. Presence and spending time together is still the best means to know a person very well or at least to get a grasp of person’s character especially on their unguarded moments. Online or virtual socialising is just a short cut to find people who are atleast willing to meet in person after realising some compatible traits. The real thing is, nothing could be better when than to observe the person’s behaviour and character by being with him or her and do activities together…buzz
How about you ?How do you find chatting, blogging, and social networking? does it work for you?buzz
