I'd cut online activity down for a while.
I discovered Second Life years ago, and was on it constantly. My real life suffered badly, and I turned into an internet fatty, and didn't see real friends for AGES. I only went out the house for food and work. Shit really.

I'm thinking more
1. Posting every fifteen seconds like a foaming-mouthed autist
2. Being abusive
3. Backpedalling and vainly trying to be liked
4. Properly flipping out, posting porn or whatever
5. Finally admitting to being Bert
6. MELTDOWN

What is it that you dislike so much about your 'real' personality
that leads you to hide behind such a dismal 'online persona'?

with added "for fuck's sake"

One of the Education Development people here spent ages trying to convince me that holding tutorials in Second Life was a brilliant idea. She hasn't spoken to me since I lost my rag and said Second Life purely exists for sad arseholes that don't even have the balls to have an affair in real life.

Comments noted.
I run a net cafe part time, and so can fuck around online whenever I'm at work. I limit online activity at home/out, just checking emails. I never actually had an affair though.
(Bear Pookie The Frankly Challenged. Halloween is coming to town., Wed 14 Dec 2011, 10:48, Reply)

I don't actually really think it's that bad, although it's blatant escapism
but the idea of holding a Uni tutorial in it is just retarded.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 14 Dec 2011, 10:53, Reply)

I still don't really understand what second life is beyond
what I've read in The Metro about people spending fortunes of real money on fake money, which just confuses me.

And I think that Snow Patrol did a gig on it that they charged people to see, which is enough to make me hate it anyway even without quite understanding how that works.
( scarpe We Stole Bikes, Wed 14 Dec 2011, 10:50, Reply)

You do have to pay for stuff in there.
It's just like normal life. But you invent a whole new person because, basically, you're a fat shutin who hates your real personality.

It confuses me because I understand computer games in which you can do things that reality prevents you from doing. I see the point of that. There's nothing you can do in Second Life that you couldn't just grow up and do in reality. And then you'd actually be doing it, as an added bonus.

But, meh, each to their own.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 14 Dec 2011, 10:55, Reply)

i think it's a bit more dangerous than that for some people
like those horrendously lardy yanks who met on there, then he had an affair (but only online) and his missus came in and saw the second life characters having an affair onscreen... unbelievable.

and the losers who let their daughter starve to death whilst playing it.

Well, no, you can be virtually assfucked by a unicorn in Second Life
in reality, you can be assfucked by a man dressed as a unicorn. Which is a infinite amount closer to actually being assfucked by a unicorn, surely?
