"You're a loser for using forums"

[Goose OG Posts:208 Threads:8 Reputation 22]

People give me this if I ever mention that I have a lot of internet friends and that I use forums. They think it is weird because I talk to a lot of people on forums. They think it means I have no IRL friends, and it is so annoying. I talk to people over Skype or on forums or something like that because these people I can relate to. These people have similar interests in me, and I actually enjoy talking them opposed to my friend, who yesterday said that uses these forums have no life. Like, um yeah right pal. The thing is, I do have enough friends I know in person.

If you have a ton of internet friends, it means NOTHING compared to the number of friends you have in real life.
And, it doesn't mean you are lonely or can't relate to people in person if you talk to people on the internet.

That stereotype of the "internet geek" with no friends needs to stop, because it is so annoying.
And, it is false.

Idek if that made sense but I had to post it.

Lets talk for a minute about how stupid these people are who say this..

Lets just mention one youtubers name, Nordan Shat/FaZe Rain

Or mentioning any youtuber, all their friendships are based over the internet and they are successful.

Nevermind your friends, they don't know what they are talking about, they are seriously stupid.
