In my 15+ years of experience being addicted i have come to the conclusion that: even though being anonymous gave me the courage to be more outgoing in a virtual world it did not have a similar effect in real life. in fact it actually has caused me to loose communication skills and become more insecure with myself in the real world. i cannot be successful in a real life society by clicking a mouse and typing on a keyboard. also, text cannot communicate the same way we do in real life. real communication involves timing, body language, voice inflection and other things that cannot be translated through text in a virtual environment. these virtual worlds should never been seen as anything more than a time waster for when you are bored with some extra time. for people with real psychological disorders, this environment may provide a perceived change through the illusion of greater self confidence but in the long term i feel that it will only increase the problems experienced by the disorder in real life. some rare cases may actually experience real life benefits, but as a majority i feel that virtual worlds can only do more harm to society as a whole than good.<br />-random gamerDrJoneznoreply@blogger.com
