Would you meet anyone here in person?

What would you do and how would it go?



Me: I would try it once.  Meet at a coffee shop or a local sight and talk

I wanna go to a mall and whistle at jailbait with Detrich.

i'm going to meet several of you

Sure, but only if they were interested, and we knew where to go and what to do. I can see that sort of thing getting awkward otherwise.

ive met people from this site before

pretty gay tbh

because

If I lived by myself, maybe.

of course

No, I can only relate to most of you through memes and talking about sep7 stuff irl would be cringy.

Would it, though?

Yeah? It would be awkward enough to have the only real connection be about the internet culture on a backwater south-asian agriculture forum, but putting that irl where you can't just walk away when it gets weird and it's a recipe for disaster.

Disagree. I think you're just a weirdo who gets uncomfortable about things that don't really matter.

Things are only awkward if you make them awkward so don't make them awkward. Simple.

People are people are people are people. It doesn't matter where they come from.

I wasn't trying to? I know lots of people can do that stuff without issue, but the subject was about whether I would want to. I wouldn't, and I explained why.

You didn't, you just said it would be awkward for some inexplicable reason, and made it seem like that's how it would be for everybody. You've always had an extremely irritating view on this subject.

Yes, it would be awkward.
the only connection to them would be internet shit and that would stop being a fun conversation after a minute or two. I don't think I've ever given off the idea that I'm exactly a social butterfly. It's the reason I don't go to parties, because it's awkward to talk to people you barely know.

I will add here that it would be easier to meet some people on here than others, but I think it would be awkward all the same.

That's the part I'm trying to dissect, because I don't understand why that's more awkward than anything else in life. Like sitting next to someone you've never met before in a new class you're taking. I know you're not a social butterfly, but that doesn't really mean a lot to me in this context, because in my mind, you'd have to be completely socially functionless if you can't handle even just a little bit of awkwardness. It's just weird.

for me even if it is awkward i just pretend its not and then it just ends up not being awkward after all

its almost like the other person can sense if youre feeling awkward amd as soon as you start pretending its not you subtely change how you act and the other person follows suit

Okay, but your example has me sitting next to someone because the reason I'm there has nothing to do with it. I'll hang out with people I don't know if friends are there, so that I can just chat with my friends if it starts getting awkward. I feel like it would be socially disfunctional to enter an awkward situation and continue to stay in it just because you don't want to leave it.

I wouldn't go out of my way to hang out with someone from the internet because it presents a situation that will become awkward without the out of just not replying anymore (which just makes things more awkward irl) or using a third party to change the dynamic.
