virtually

This internet age confuses me somewhat. You can communicate with everyone. But who are they? Really? Who of all those you click into socalled friendship or chat for hours with are to be trusted? On the other hand: Who are the people you meet in real life? Does anyone ever know? And is it that important? What is trust? Especially, if you have started a blog sharing your thoughts with whoever cares to look.
I am old fashioned, it seems. Maybe I just need the confirmation and feedback from my guts, sitting opposite a real person and being able to detect all the nonverbal information, too. But where did that get me before my online existance?
Wrong choices, whether based upon trusting your gut or the information provided on the net, are easily made but hard to recover from.
This is why I got that computer in the first place: to keep me busy and away from getting entangled in the relationship chaos ever again. The net is no hiding place, I was soon to learn. Apart from the weirdos, who ask you to undress in their opening line, there seem to be lots of yous and mes about. Looking for exact the thing i hoped to escape from when opting for virtuallity.
I’m scared.
