Patty Posted November 27, 2000 Share Posted November 27, 2000 I just woke up from the strangest dream.Last night,I thought about a choice I was making for myself for the better.And it was to be,to quit making contact with the people in the chat room,that ignored me.Then my thoughts were last night about fantasizing ways to get them back for the way they treated me.I thought it over and last night before I went to sleep,I said to myself that I will get even with them.Then I had this dream that I seen them in person and they had just gotten out of the shower with a towel around them,and while I was standing there in the dream,they started talking to me and was very concerned about me in my dream.In this dream they acted like they cared about me.I just thought it was a strange dream.I know I had been very upset with them,but the dream I had was strange,cause they were being nice to me in the dream.

Paulie Posted November 27, 2000 Share Posted November 27, 2000 Well, I don't care about people in chat rooms that ignore me, because...Y'know what? Who Cares!!! No, your dream is not weird, as far as dreams go. My question is why this would bother you. The fact that you apparently are so concerned with these random people in chat rooms concerns me. This is what you should be concerned with...why you even give a crap. And why would such a decision to ignore these people be such a life-improvingf decision? Are chat rooms that central to your mood and/or quality of life? Link to post Share on other sites
Author Patty Posted November 27, 2000 Author Share Posted November 27, 2000 oh....just wanted to tell the dream I had thats all....I just thought it was an interesting dream to tell....sorry.... Link to post Share on other sites
Tony T Posted November 27, 2000 Share Posted November 27, 2000 I know Patty just wanted to tell us about her dream. But, you make some excellent points about chat rooms. People take them very seriously and actually allow people they have never met, who are just blocks of type on a screen, and allow them to affect their lives in major ways. It's like these people who actually fall in love and maintain they are committed to people in chat rooms and through instant messages and Email. It is beyond insane. The world is absolutely amazing. Your post was very well put. I'm not sure whether the Internet has affected people socially in a positive or negative way...I suppose it has different effects on different people. But when people let it get the best of them, they go bananas...all the result of their interaction with complete strangers. It's a wacky world out there. Link to post Share on other sites
Deejette Posted November 28, 2000 Share Posted November 28, 2000 Real people whose actions you can see are what matters, not a bunch of half-fake phantoms, most of whom are social misfits. You have been obsessing over these chatroom snubbings because you feel hurt and rejected by your own self, otherwise you wouldn't care what compete strangers whome you have never met, say or don't say to you. Find real flesh and blood people to hang out with.

sparkle Posted November 28, 2000 Share Posted November 28, 2000 Patty, Thanks for sharing your dream. Paulie and Tony weren't saying that you shouldn't have done so. I think what we're trying to say is the following.... You said: night,I thought about a choice I was making for myself for the better.And it was to be,to quit making contact with the people in the chat room,that ignored me. Please don't let the what goes on in chat rooms interfere with your REAL life. I mean, it should not even be worth you wasting time and effort even thinking about it. There are better things to be thinking about. Then my thoughts were last night about fantasizing ways to get them back for the way they treated me.I thought it over and last night before I went to sleep,I said to myself that I will get even with them.Then I had this dream Get even with them?? WHY?? Just because they ignored you? Maybe if your real-life friend started ignoring you in person for a few days all of a sudden, that may cause you to worry. But even letting yourself get upset because someone was rude to you or ignored you on the net is working yourself up wayyyyy too much. A bunch of my friends that I goto school with and that I hang out with...we all have IM and sit there and talk to each other while at work. We form a chat room and we'll just make fun of each other. The guys especially sometimes get vulgar and curse each other out and get into big arguments. But half an hour later, we all might be sitting there having lunch together, and not think twice about the conversation we had... ...because it's only FUN AND GAMES. Please don't let these chat rooms..which are pretty much a big joke/game get you worked up. Link to post Share on other sites
