      I would be lonely & unfulfilled if I didn't have my online world. I have a close circle of friends but none of them share my interests.

      Yeah. I get that but my niece is 20 and has never been on a date. Netflix and chill alone is their way of life.

      Is she happy? That's key. If she's lonely & depressed, this clearly isn't right for her.

      Yes, i think she'd depressed. I think she is a legitimate introvert who desires some connections but doesn't know how.

      Social media? I've met some people I really connect with here and then met up with them in real life.

      When I first came, I didn't mention Dave much & several intelligent, good-looking, kind & funny men I'd connected with asked me out in DM.

      They didn't really know what I looked like. I've seen studies which show that relationships which begin online last better. Meeting of minds

      So, I'm a believer in thinking abt people online as real people & real friends. Perhaps you niece could make meaningful connections this way

          I might have a thread later about online connections but when I say 'people often think...' I won't be talking about you. :)

          More about real-life people who wonder why I spend so much time online particularly academics who get very scathing about superficiality.
