Can real angels go online and chat with you ? ? And tell everyone they are actually an angel??
No. Angels are spirit entities and they can't type- not even in chat-room speech. People can say anything they want about themselves when they are hiding behind a computer. I always assume that everyone online is a 50 y.o. man who wants to be thought of as a 14 y.o. girl. But no one online is really an angel or a demon or a vampire. They're all just people who want others to imagine them in some other way. It's alternative reality. If someone makes some bizzarre claim about themselves online, don't trust them. Make yourself a list of keywords that mean that someone is lying. Include angel, devil, vampire, demon, priest/priestess, Bill Gates, etc. Take the time to stay safe online. But then again, it might be fun to pretend that you are chatting with an angel, just don't take it too seriously.
How can I convince my mom that not everyone online us a 50 year old pedophile?
I agree with Abi, only thing is im 17 years old now (b-day on saturday)...anyways. My mom saus the same thing when im on IMVU or on email. I have emails from friends at school and email them now and then, my mom asked who i was typing to and when i told her it was a friend of mine from school she rolled her eyes and said it's a pedophile i've met on that imvu site...yet ive told her multiple times its not and she wont believe me also...so i know how you feel. Even if i were to tell my mom there not pedo's, she'll continue with her opinion and ignore my truth. So i just go behind her back and keep doing what i do...emailing my friends. -_- But you do have to know this, there are people out there that could fake who they really are. I could be emailing one of my friend's parents getting them erected because of how i talk online (dont ask) and not knowing its not who i think it is...so comes to show you that a lot of people may act like someone else to get your attention, unless you've seen them in person. Not sure about Skype, i dont have it because ive seen on youtube someone fake put a screen of someone else, not them, and tricked users into thinking its PewDiePie brofisting them.
Why does everyone think that they are an INTJ?
I think it's for the same reason that many people who are young seek to achieve a high IQ score. They want to feel special, bright, rare, gifted and better yet, understood.I've taken the MBTI test a few times and it's mostly ENTP or ENFP, one time it was an INTJ - I was literally stunned. Not that it was a bad thing, nor did I intentionally set out to fool the test. It was simply the mood I was in at the time that gave me that result.We really are in the age of introversion when you stop to really think about it. No one really talks to others on the bus or train ride, people climb in the back of cabs all with their earplugs in just as they walk down the city streets to later then spent bulk of their day behind a computer screen.I don't mean to sound like a wet blanket, but it's quite similar to how people responded when the movie "Rain Man" came out. I see this correlation, but I'm not sure anyone else does. People seem to love having labels like "The Mastermind" and while perhaps a generous 60% of that could be true in the description, people identify with it and later adopt it as their personality.My partner who is an INTJ doesn't tout this fact and doesn't like to be pigeon holed with it either because it's simply just a base of reference and nothing more than that. She is rare, because she can put up with me - someone with Autism.
Why do people think it's okay to be rude online?
I read comments on a lot of news stories. I've noticed that some of the comments go way beyond just debating the subject. People will call names and say horrible things about someone they don't know based on a difference in opinion. How do people think it's okay?
In online dating, why do people think they can just start a conversation and say anything? Why isn't it treated more like in-person dating where you mind your manners and try to be on your good behavior?
It’s a reflection of their own (usually unmonitored) inner state..There is no social stigma online with repercussions making them behave in a socially acceptable way.. so you will see the worst of the worst with some people.Online trolling has been known to get people’s frustrations out in one way or another.. it also seems to have a ripple effect.. negativity breeds more negativity..leading to more rejection - rinse & repeat..The more energy you give to a troll, the more emboldened they get.. should you meet them in real life, they may end up being very timid.Lots of men online will send vile messages to women out of frustration for being rejected repeatedly.. the same men are whiny cowards in real life with a deep seated hatred for women. They feel that they have been wronged by the universe and that they “deserve” a hot girlfriend to feed their fragile egos.They are also disproportionately present in the dating pool because they are fish that keep getting thrown back into the pool while the more secure men find someone they like, settle and discontinue their membership..The worst thing you can do is engage them.. you can’t explain to an asshole that they are behaving like an asshole..Save your energy for men who are worthy and try to focus on the positive experiences. (I know.. easier said than done.. :)There are good, decent men online, you just need to quickly dismiss the bad apples and not let them discourage you from finding someone who is right for you.
What do you think about online dating? Is it for losers?
Is online dating for losers—?If it is, then you have a whole bunch of losers coupling up, so it’s perfect for everyone, isn’t it, then?In all seriousness, though, I met a handful of highly intelligent and extremely worthy men on those sites. I’ve virtually bumped into really great people I know from real life—they typically don’t last very long on the site, though.Are there fewer relationship-ready people online than I would meet in the real world? Most certainly, if you define “losers” as pick-up artists, players, married men, stalkers, and people who didn’t have anything to offer than a good time (or who make you feel like you should be in therapy). There were quite a number of those.The mistake people make on these sites is that they play the “numbers game” for X-long, grow weary with the process, and then settle with the first relatively normal person who matches the basic criteria on their mental checklists, and a couple of years later, they’re back on the site, wondering what went wrong. Rinse and repeat. Look to the common denominator. That’s a little bit loser-ish.Like others have said, you have to really be selective and not just date because you feel you should. Relationships should occur organically. If you so happen to meet someone on an online dating site, there’s nothing wrong with that—losers or no.
Why do people tend to feel it is easier to express themselves online rather than face to face?
That is all human psychology. There are only few people in the world who you can express yourself to face to face. But when it comes to chats or texting it becomes much easier to convey our true feelings. Why? First, We cant see their face. Many may argue that this is against the thesis but the truth is that it makes us comfortable. A person you open up to online may be a person you don't know so well face-to-face who you would like to know in most cases. Like for example a crush. So naturally you're going to get a bit nervous while talking to them face to face. While during online conversations you can converse calmly. I think i need to rephrase what i said. its because THEY CAN'T SEE YOUR FACE. So you don't really give away what you actually feel.Numero Dos, "Oops sorry, I meant to send that message to someone else"While sometimes this message may be genuine, in most cases its because the sender realized they shouldn't have sent that. So its like you can almost undo a small part of what you said. Can't do that with words can you?Three: Confidence.Many people have for example, a complex about their looks. This does not apply to everyone but in some cases they may find it easier to converse confidently over messaging rather than in person.Also, there is the small possibility that the person might by getting bored or irritated by listening to others problems. While talking to someone, if the person in front indicated that he/she is getting bored by one's talk, the individual may feel worse and it proves to be a huge blow to one's ego. This is much minimized while making the use of chats or messaging.
How do I explain to my parents that not everyone in the internet is bad?
I hesitate to answer this because I might just sound like a huge hypocrite. I had boyfriends online, and was allowed to meet them. I even met my husband online.Your parents know not everyone on the internet is bad. They know it. The problem is, some people on the internet ARE bad. Neither you, nor your parents know who those people are specifically. You can fall in love with someone online and they end up being the kind of guy to shove you into a trunk and sell you as a sex slave to someone in some country where they don’t care that you are one.The problem isn’t the nice people, the harmless people, the well intentioned, it’s the fact that those horrible sicko people… seem EXACTLY the same as the good ones up until they show their true colors.Your parents are scared. They are scared that you don’t understand exactly how dangerous it is to meet someone from the internet. They are so scared for you, because you are the most important person in their hearts they have ever met, and they don’t want to lose you because some sicko convinced you that it was true love.You may have been joking with your friend, but your parents have no real way to know that. They also have no way to know what is in your heart. However this doesn’t mean there is no solution for you.Talk to your parents. Let them know that you realize they are worried for you, and that you trust their judgment. Let them know that you still wish to talk to people online, but that you want to be safe about it, and will be open to any suggestions they have to keep you safe. Let them know you will not meet someone from the internet, or give those people your contact information without their permission first (at least until you are a full fledged adult). Perhaps remind them that someday, you will BE that adult, that you will be able to go online and meet whoever you want, and you would prefer that they GUIDE you to see what is safe procedure rather than BAN you, which will teach you nothing in preparation for that time in your life.Your parents aren’t intentionally taking away privileges just because they want to ruin your life. They are scared. Give them a bit of a leash, so they can feel more secure letting you explore the world online while keeping a nice hold on you.
