Social life?

I think Hipforums is as real as it can be. I don't know. I just find myself thinking that way. I've lost touch with most of my friends, among former colleagues from schools... It's also a way of passing my time, when I take a little break from work. I'm not a native speaker of English, so it's also a way of exercising my English skills with native speakers - I guess there are quite a lot here.

 

i use it to pass the time....

 

well i don't really care very much about being social. i just like to run off at the keyboard. i do like for everybody to be able to be happy though.

i think there are things people are doing, we could all have a much happier world for all of us, that most people are paying more attention to being social than.

i don't know if running off at the keyboard on here is helping all that much, but its one of the few things i currently have a way of doing.

i mean of doing about what concerns me about the kind of world we all have to live in.

I am lonely and suicidal, so you guys keep me both company and alive.

 

it's a way of broadening my horizons, and reading about how other people live and do things, i think it's cool.

 

And maybe one day you learn how to spell 'amoeba' too.

 

Bwaahaahaha... great sense of humor! :lol:

 

I come to HF for the social interaction...I'm a stay-at-home mother and housewife, and I don't get out a whole lot. Next year will be a little different with the twins in kindergarten. I'll be up at the school volunteering most days, doing the PTA thing, and hopefully my little business will be getting lots of orders too! I like to be social, but I also enjoy simply being at home as well. However I never like to be completely alone, it depresses me immmensely.

Being on HF to me is perfect because there's really no commitment. By that I mean, I can come and go as I please, there are no demands on me here. When I need a break, I just stay away for a while. With people in real life, that's a little more tricky. *laughs*

In real life situations, I have a difficult time getting close to people. I'm very selective of the friends I keep to a fault, I believe. Sometimes I wish I weren't, but if I don't feel a "click" or connection with someone, I can't simply look past it and do things with them socially just for the heck of it. I don't know, it's somewhat hard for me to explain I suppose. Maybe someone knows what I mean.

Anyway.

 

I'm on here because I enjoy learning new things and hearing peoples views on things.

I guess, according to some bogus psychology study, that online interaction causes poor social development skills. I think it's just in kids, though, because I feel I socialize just fine.

I also enjoy socializing on the forums, too. Meeting new people, whether online or in real life is always fun.

 

my real social life comes and goes. i come here either way when i'm sitting at home and don't feel like playing video games. i'm too fidgety to just sit still and watch tv, so i need to be online or something to keep my hands busy

 

I'm here 'cause it's fun and a good way to pass the time when you're bored. I can see your point about it being a social crutch, but I do have a great social life now. I'm not even into the whole forums thing, but my sister got me into it. I've been to other forums and it just looked boring, but hip forums is great. I think it's active enough to keep us all interested.

 

I'm just here when I'm bored....I kinda have a strange schedule alot of times and nobody else is awake when I am. Or like right now, I have to go to work in like half an hour, so I'm just killin time.

 

well, i found out about hipforums because i was trying to research about shrooms and read peoples trips and stuff...i wasn't really familiar with how forums worked or anything at first.. so i was like.. ohh cool! you can talk to people! lol but then i realized i had to sign up... so i was like.. fuck.. what the hell.. so i made up some stupid username.. and the first thing i could think about was iwasinshroomland... and after a while.. it started to get addictive.. so i've been coming on pretty often lately.. mostly because i'm procrastinating on my homework and shit...

so yeah tahts why im on HF.. to fuck around in random threads, and talk about drugs while procrastinating on projects and essays.... which i am doing right now..

 

^ same way i found this place.

I go on social binges and sometimes dont come on here for a couple weeks, and it dosnt even cross my mind. Sometimes i like breaks though, where i avoid hanging out with friends because i get bored and sick of it.

plus this place has a higher concentration of cool people then the outside world.

 

I'm on here everytime I have to take care of stuff online.. other stuff.. I do multitasking. And if I really come here to spend a long time it's because I feel like debating.. or discussing things.. and here I can with pleasure cause there's not always someone around or somethings I don't wanna talk about with whoever is around.. and the great thing about forums is all these povs on everything and nothing.. and as I said before, I feel sentimental about this place, that's where I went when I fist got the internet so it's like my internet home hehe aww..

It's not like those people addicted to Myspace.. that lame because they spend their life online to do what?? whore and stalk... hah seriously though here it's not like that we're weird people to most "normal" people and we have conversations.. deep or complete bull.. but that can be fun while multitasking

 

yeah i dont own a myspace or facebook, so HF evens shit out.

 

my social life right now is pretty non-existent outside swimming and a few of my buddies i see.

 

I was looking for a place where the Hippies chill.

First thing I saw on a Google Search, clicked, and the rest is history.

 

My fiance's away for work ): . I don't have ANY (not even one) friend here besides him.

 

i was looking for forums about ganj...and now i have no life. it's this, or bioshock.
actually i should be cram-sessioning but...i mean civics is so EASY i can only cram it in so much there's no more room BLEARG exam week
