Neurodivergent on Sidechat | People complain about not socializing when online is literally socializing. Literally. That's what the entire network was built for. It'd absolutely arbitrary that physical space socializing is better in every way for everyone.

I hate to break this to you but irl socialization is extremely important and you might need to go touch grass

i think my online socialization might have enabled me not socializing irl throughout high school. i’m so isolated and lonely. i really don’t recommend doing what i did

You're trying to make some important point about my life through...what exactly? A screen? Why should I listen if this doesn't matter and isn't social in the first place?

The internet has existed for 50 years max. That is a SHORT time in human history. Consider the implicit bias those studies started with.

Everything you like about yourself was built and strengthened in part through the meaningful interactions you had online. You're a human being, not a mean neosociology term

firstly, more like 40, and in that short time, we have seen a drastic uptick in eating disorders (especially since 2012 when smart phones became more ubiquitous) and loneliness. yes, its what it was built for, but you aren’t taking the perverse effects into account (these are when outcomes are opposite to intention)

The internet doesn’t have to be bad to mean that in person interaction is still like a basic human need lol
