DrPaulCampbell Posted January 18 Posted January 18 (edited) I'm not sure if anyone has read this post in a while, since it's many years old, but I wanted to raise it again, because I thought it was very helpful. I came upon it when I was looking to sort through some thoughts I was having and I thought the person was really brave to have written it. It's worth a read, along with the comments. I'm posting it also because I'm interested to see if anyone has any reactions. Maybe there would be none, but as with many of us, our 3DXChat life is not known to anyone in the real world, so it's not like you can go talk to other friends who don't really understand how a relationship with 3DXChat and the people can be. I'm posting this, not to be judgmental and also please I'm not asking for advice or negative commentary ... just wondering if anyone relates to this. I also found that writing about it is kind of cathartic. In my opinion, what the person above wrote is entirely correct. Because you don't have to adhere to the rules of real world, and there are basically no consequences to discourteous behavior in 3DXChat, you deal with people who essentially change their persona on a dime or ghost you without any explanation. This stuff would never fly in the real world because well - it's impossible and you have to deal with your personality problems. But 3DX is an escape for most people on one level or another. Be wary of people who seem to ALWAYS be on, because they might be in way too deep, and I had to start checking my own behavior when I found that logging in to 3DXChat was the first thing I wanted to do when I got home. I was bordering on addiction. Thankfully, I had an emotional reaction that alerted me to the fact that I was truly getting addicted and that's what landed me on the post above. I had an entire day, thinking about nothing but an experience I had in 3DXChat, as if the conversation had happened in reality. It's dangerous and not good for the heart and soul to have that happen, since you can just start to lose yourself in these thoughts and it becomes maddening. This isn't to say that it can't be fun, but I find that you basically have to treat the place like a new city that you're just visiting and you don't go there all the time. Maybe something like a vacation that you're on, where you're not really responsible for anything, and you're not really living your "real life" because you're in a situation where you don't have any responsibilities and you can actually be someone else for a while. But eventually, you have to go back to the place where you make money, have a life, and touch and feel real people who can love you in a way that the experience of 3DXChat never can. Be good to each other. PC Edited January 18 by DrPaulCampbell Labrys3DX, BlowjobBunny and JeanBa 1 1 1
JeanBa Posted January 23 Posted January 23 (edited) We are here in the context of what I wrote in a previous text. It must be considered that if people want "the real" and feelings that are not "adulterated", they will have to be aware of the fact that in front of them most will be players, some unscrupulous, others by omission, others finally by non-voluntary unconsciousness. A world that is not real supposes people who are neither one nor the other or at least who will be to a certain extent. The main advantage of a virtual site is that there are no barriers and laws (although a charter of good conduct has been established by 3DX) and that consequently YOU HAVE NO CONSTRAINT TO BE YOURSELF. In the same way, some will be able to abuse this state of affairs which will make relationships deleterious and therefore social relationships unstable. In any case, people will only bring to this site what they are: in good and in bad. The only advice I have to give you is this: stay friends or more with the person whose faults you can tolerate the most. Have a good day to all. Edited January 23 by JeanBa
