Even "virtual" is the wrong word, because that implies it isn't real.
This is real.
The Internet is real.
People on the Internet are real, and you can have real friendships with them. Or not.
It's whatever, though. That grandma mentality is gonna die out very fast, very soon.

online interaction isn't real interaction.
how not
It's really not. You're only getting like 10% of the information that you could be getting through someone's tone of voice, their facial expression, the way they gesture their body, etc. It's actually sort of sad and telling of the current generation we live in, that people growing up today seem to see no difference in talking to people in person and talking to people in text. I actually prefer talking to people in groups of 3 in a video chat, but talking to people in person is a bit uncomfortable for me, ironically. Just because it's uncomfortable for me doesn't mean that I don't realize how big of a sham talking to people through text is.
Here's the thing. When you're reading someone's writing through text, you don't really know a person. It's also impossible to tell what someone means sometimes if they're not using an inflection in their voice that you would hear. For example, sometimes it's impossible to tell sarcasm through text. Text is bullshit and you're retarded if you still disagree.
Couldn't you dispel this entire argument by talking to people over voice chat every day and forging friendships over that? I've known my pair of friends since 2011, and have chatted basically every day for the last 3 years. Going to visit another friend of mine in Maryland next summer probably and we talk very often and text.
I agree just over the text thing, but everything else I have to disagree with. Sharing pictures, talking about your lives, etc. That's basically Facebook but not, and I don't see anyone there saying you're not really keeping in touch or knowing your friends.
That's a great point too. The whole reason I did those AMA videos is so I could add a human element to my posting, and people have told me that their whole perceptions of me have completely changed after they watched them. So if the text thing really is such a block for people, there's honestly so many other ways to forge friendships online, and it's an incredible outlet for anyone with social anxiety to actually feel like they belong in a community. Who gives a fuck if it's virtual? Bigots.

Sometimes I see Frampt just sleeping when I'd like to feed him stuff.
I guess I'm supposed to stab him, but I never do, just because I'm afraid he'll get pissed.

I care too much what people think of me and I get really stressed out about it, so trying to not care what people think of me is the only real fix for that.
Lately I'm beginning to discover that stress is not only unavoidable, but an overall good motivator. At least, for me.
Not for me. It makes me want to stay in bed all day.
Me too, but I guess I mean that I'm learning to take control of it.

what the fuck does this even mean trying to read this feels like having a stroke
reworded: If you find the male form attractive, why would you want to look feminine, and vice versa
because my identity and sexuality are two different things just because i'm attracted to women doesn't mean that i am one, or even want to be one and as far as i know, gay guys don't generally masturbate to themselves maybe it's a biological thing—being sexually attracted to yourself is probably not conducive to reproduction, because why go through the hassle of finding a mate when you can just pleasure yourself to yourself i don't know

I only care about what certain people think about me and that's because there is a practical reason for them to like me.
That's pretty gross.

caring about private matters is pretty stupid and silly, but that doesn't mean their privacy should be violated

I do care about what others think of me. I'm positive that my problem is I care a little too much.
good answer Unlike what seems to be most of the human race, I actually think it's not only good, but important for people to care what people think of them—but I suppose I could concede that it's possible to care too much.

The way that people talk to each other online is in no way how people would authentically talk to people irl. but that's precisely what makes it more authentic anonymity, and even semi-anonymity, tends to cause people to show their true colors if you're the kind of person who fakes and trolls online, then that in itself is a true color—that you're a dishonest shithead

and why are these important things for something to be considered "real" interaction Here's the thing. When you're reading someone's writing through text, you don't really know a person. i know my internet friends more than i know my in-person friends, and my in-person friends only become more difficult to communicate with as the years go by honestly, i'm beginning to think that online interaction is not only real, but it's perhaps the only valid form of interaction, because it enables people to be truly honest and open about themselves without fearing repercussion they can choose to troll and bullshit as well, but people do the same exact shit in-person i will seriously never understand this shitty, out-of-touch mentality

Shitposting became pointless here.

half the threads dont have more than 5000 replies
so?
he's saying that's a good thing in contrast to bungle, where the entire forum is made up of megathreads, and if you try to start a thread like this, it'll get locked, because it could just go in the megathread

Yes and no. Loved ones, the people I work for and clients? Very much so. Neighbors and people I associate with? A little. Strangers, and most people on line? Not at all
Always seemed like a pointless double standard to me.
Why is it a double standard? Strangers won't think twice about you, the others Charlie listed are people that will
Strangers may not think twice about you, but they will think at least once about you, and that's why they matter.

I was literally twelve when it came out, and I remember all the furor and praise the movie received, before it became the meme-y dumpster fire it is today.
Meanwhile, I was just flustered over that stupid out-of-place masturbation joke to care about the rest of the movie.

it's a bad thing because social manifestations of GAD cripple my ability to handle a lot of situations on an emotionally stable level
That's unfortunate. I find that the opposite is true for my own anxiety. Caring about what others think enables me to tap into my social potential and act on it. If I didn't care, I would be spaghetti personified, because I do pretty much everything that I do for the sake of other people. Much of the anxiety comes from not living up to my own or others' expectations.
