-- Posted by sugar booger at 10:09 pm on June 6, 2008 I don't understand why the need for social interactions is so strong. For example, I live so far out of town that I can't just get up and drive in. So I get online when I'm craving communication. The internet is not really person to person, it's person to screen to person. But it's still a comforting solution to my lack of a current social life. I just thought it was an interesting observation. -- Posted by Lewdness at 10:10 pm on June 6, 2008 No man is an island. Haha. But seriously. -- Posted by Lewis9024 at 10:11 pm on June 6, 2008 i can relate. spending too long away from others can be weird. But then again, sometimes its nice to embrace that bittersweet feeling of not needing everybody else to stay up. -- Posted by Ancient Rights at 10:12 pm on June 6, 2008 Humans are social creatures by design. Acting as a group leads to the exchange of information and ideas which is why many civilizations advanced more rapidly than others. But also, humans have a tendency to comfort each other, so by seeking out other people, you also find comfort. I know all people are not like this, I am just speaking generally.
