I don't know about everyone else but I am addicted to instant messaging...even though I hardly get any from anyone, and it started me thinking. As do most things. Why do i do it?!
Well it makes me feel connected, I can talk to friends across the globe if I want, I can "chat" to people who I have not a phone number for. Ex-girlfriends who I probably won't see again, just to say hi. Problem is I don't or more to the point they don't.
Am I being a bit big headed in saying that no one ever speaks to me, or lets put it this way, people who I don't really want to talk to, talk to me (I.e I'm waiting for someone to talk to me (i.e. Attention seeking?!?!??!)). When I IM someone who I really want to talk to they don't seem to respond or are "Away". So I remain sitting here, maybe on Facebook/Myspace/Wwe.com waiting for someone to talk to me, is it because nobody wants to?! I wouldn't class myself as a very boring person I like to chat about interesting and deep stuff, yet nobody wants to talk to me about any of it.
Thus rendering this network utterly pointless, I'm sure there will come a day when it will save my life and I will be greatful for it, but for the time being it's like this big hole has infected my life whereas it used to be the central hub.
