But yet she said the number of apps you have indicate your loneliness or the amount of time you spend on forums so I'm merely stating a assumption based off what she herself wanted to state a point about.
This is how I know OP didn't understand my statement. It's fine to have social media, if used correctly. But it makes a majority of it's users, lonely. And in my statement, I'm saying social media and apps are used incorrectly. Most people I encounter have numerous social media apps! There's individuals on here that multiple third party apps... Like 8 ! For what? To talk everyone they "know" on here. As if, one simply is not enough because they cannot stay connected. There's a lack in "connection" which could be anything really, not simply loneliness. I am saying in terms of online dating, that connection is loneliness. I do not have PIMD because I am "lonely".
Well alright. Now I just think you're both defensive. Actually if we're comparing this to a battle you'd be on the offense, she'd be on the defense so my apologies. And I'm glad you enjoy "telling it like it is," but remember that you're telling it from your own perspective an that's not always how it is. So in her opinion if she felt you misunderstood her post or the intent of her post, then maybe you did, seeing as you can't exactly read her mind.
What's the definition of incorrectly? Shouldn't people be their own judge of what's correct or incorrect? Have you not established friendships online? What's the established means of incorrect?
It's not an argument, OP directly asked if I was lonely. I said no. She admitted she was, and tried to play therapist to admit something that wasn't there. There's different reasons why people play PIMD, but in terms of online dating and meeting people of off PIMD and dating online, it's been proven as an innovation of loneliness. That's all.
I don't really have "online" friends. There are people behind a screen, much like myself, in which we share a common space. I may get a long, but to form a friendship with them is rare. I simply can't do it online. Lol. Talking and typing words is not friendship to me. It's physical memories created.
I'm on this app because it's 11:22 and I'm bored. When I am whittling my thumbs and don't wish to do anything productive, I get on this app. It is by no means necessary. Just like other apps that aren't necessary. Social apps actually, that one would be well off without. Certain things are needed to an extent, we will always need to be able to communicate from afar and share information and gain more knowledge. But not all technology is "necessary."
You never said no, you actually belittled my ability to make a coherent thought out of your post. That's not a no.
I actually haven't fully played this game for a very long time. I get on to debate in forums. As I have no other forum of entertainment as TV or such I find my solace in books and forums.
Can one politely call someone dumb? :ugeek: Please teach me how, I usually sound like a bitch when I call someone dumb.
You know that "why do you play PIMD thread" that pops up from time to time?, read those replies. They're a bit interesting. I find social behaviors to be interesting and forums is a great place to see how people act in certain circumstances an how they adapt to the mood and feel of the thread. Partly why I play PIMD, and my second part is why Jester no longer plays.
Oh yes I understood the dumb part. Which would prove you defensive. But you never actually claimed no. So, where's your argument? Indirectly stating no? You didn't indirectly state it you politely claimed I was dumb. Which I'm not due to you not understanding the fact that your argument sounded like you included yourself in it. If you had said no then fine. But you didn't. Instead you chose to get defensive with me in something that could have easily been solved and has now lead to two pages of arguing about how you think I'm stupid. Which in actuality I'm pretty intelligent.
Implying I'm dumb is thus being defensive since you didn't state an argument to the negative. Implying I'm dumb without establishing a more coherent thought process is being defensive.
