Hi. My name is Stan and I have a problem. I have become a tech junkie. I am currently four screening it. As I write this on my laptop I am also watching a DVD of the Rocky Horror Picture Show on my LCD flat screen smart TV. Aside of me is my cell phone on which I have a witty running text conversation going with some waitress I gave my # to. Wait it gets worse. I also have my kindle on and am running youtube videos of think like a horse. Yup I'm a tech junkie. Good thing is it is only at night, thank heavens. Days I work and also hang out with my horse or those at the shelter.
Problem is I start to have withdrawal symptoms if I'm not on line by 7pm. I used to like going to the movies or visiting friends but now I find it stressful to do these things because it cuts down on my time with my tech gadgets. I think I'm losing touch with the real world. It just seems fake to me now. Cold and uncaring. I like it here. I can find adventure on my TV, which also has a playstation 3 connected to it. Yeah I spend a lot of time in the old west (Read Dead Redemption) and at war (MOH, Wolfenstein).
I find friends here on DA and love to type out thoughtful comments. There is a lot of stupidness involved with my cell phone and texting with people who I could never talk with. Then there is youtube. I probably don't even have to get into that I'm sure you can imagine!
So what do you think? Do I have a problem? Is there hope for me? or is this the beginning of the end? I don't even seek out contact with others anymore. It just doesn't seem worth the effort. No one cares. The world is on fire and no one cares, why should I?
I can just hide here with all my gadgets and wait for it all to stop.

Ah, sweet solitude. There's nothing better than being able to relax, unwind, and forget about all the fake crap, or the office politics, or just too much information overload one gets from socializing. I don't know about you, Stan, but I haven't really had a social life for about fifteen years, and even then it was only because people took an interest in me and I took a chance. I'm not a normal person, Stan. I don't get social norms, I don't understand what's really acceptable (though I've gotten pretty good about it, I've come to the conclusion that it's safer to just be alone.)
Well, I'm never alone when I'm home (married, hello) my wife is like me, preferring a nice quiet life compared to being around people for long periods of time. People kinda suck, it's difficult to find people with just the right mindset and such that they'll be able to understand you and tolerate your quirks so much that you're happy being yourself around them. That's what makes the internet so awesome - it's easy to find people like yourself, to talk to them and relate. That's how we found each other, of course. So...don't take it as a bad sign, Stan. I've managed to grow a lot and experience myself and other people online so much easier than I would have had I not experienced the online world. So you're finding it more difficult to go out and be with people? It's not exactly a bad sign of what you're becoming, I find it more a sign that you're finding ways to make it easier to be yourself, 'cause people "out there"? Not always kind and understanding.
