You cant just walk down the street and start a conversation with someone that is passing you by, whereas in places like this you can share whatever you want with whoever you want and whenever you want and get feedback and there is alwasys someone to respond.; ▶ Reply to This

I'm mute, and sign language isn't widely used, so I carry a notebook everywhere.
This feels somewhat the same as real life to me.
I prefer faces though.
I've gotten better at reading them.
I also listen to more than most people it seems.
To know people?
I just ask a lot of questions.
I'm overly curious, so I ask everything.

Be it here or in the "real world" I have found the best way to learn about people is to just watch them. lol Not meaning stare mind you but just watch how they act/react to different things. Over time there will always be a pattern.; ▶ Reply to This

It takes me literally years to feel I know someone. I need face to face interaction with them or at the very least to hear their voice on the phone.
The two people I met online that I interact with regularly ...one lives across the continent and we talk on the phone...after five years I feel pretty close to him.

The other I live 11 miles from...we see each other several times a week...but I will need more time before I feel I know him. We still do MOST of our communicating by email.; ▶ Reply to This
