(not to the wow convo but just in genreal internet addiction)...i think i can relate. I am somewhat of a recluse in real life. There is nothing wrong with me, im just not outgoing and im shy. I never grew up with the internet though (my parents only let me do internet for prodjects, and I dont watch tv either) so I wanst addicted to it. They totaly stomped that out. But i do feal that i have social interaction problems... I dont trust people and I prefer the internet because its easier to talk to people here.

I think my extremely sheltered life leads to my social problems. I not comfortable around people. And I never can talk about anything interesting. I have no tv or music knowledge. I used to work at a movie theater and it was so much easier to talk to people about movies; that they were pretty much the basis of my conversations...now i do not work there and I feal so out of the loop because of it. (i cant afford to go eather)
I get on more than i used to, now that I have internet free of parental restictions. Its just something i do beacuse Im bored. I know I could to more fufilling things like hang out but i dont trust people and i dont have money to spend to go out. (this normaly happens, we go to eat-i bring my own food and water, we go to stores-i dont buy anything but others do) so its realy not fun. Yeah i like going out i just dont like reling on others to get me there and back and i cant walk myself becuase of the neighborhood im in.
