Things I've Learned from the Internet

[LadyOhh]

1) It's not serious business. If you take it seriously, you will end up with many many grey hairs and possibly an ulcer.

2) People are jerks. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't, but they can be. Take everything said with a grain of salt. Maybe they just got dumped, or they had a bad can of beans, but its more than likely not about you.

3) Writing out things (aka Typing) can be completely misconstrued. So don't take it personally.

4) Just because someone doesn't respond to you immediately doesn't mean that they are ignoring you. They are more than likely just out in real life.

5) Just because someone types "Beautiful" or "That's really cool" doesn't mean that they are your friend, or that they even mean it. They may just be trying to bump their post count.

6) Trolls exist. They suck, and they are out to get you all riled up. Don't let them have the satisfaction, unless you are willing to put in the emotional effort and time just to be disappointed.

7) Other peoples opinions exist. And you cannot convince some people that they are wrong. No matter what you do.

8) You can and will form true friendships in real life from the internet. You just have to meet them in real life to make it happen.

9) Real life is more important than the internet. Really. I promise. Go out and take a look for yourself.

10) THE INTERNET IS A GREAT TOOL. Just don't get overwhelmed by it or too lost in it, or you will be lost yourself.
