I cannot think, I am mentally unstable.

Wow, just Wow! I have a VERY active RL. My RL job is in the legal field. My social life is moderate. I am far from unattractive. I come to SL to relieve the stress and pressures of RL. I go to clubs, shop, dance, and meet a lot of people, in all of the 4+ years I have been here I have NEVER met anyone that I would consider mentally unstable. Obviously, the people who wrote that description never stayed in SL long enough to find the hidden gems that can be found all over the grid. They visited an adult SIM and surmissed that THAT is what SL is really about. Is SL an escape? Sure it is, we all need an escape from time to time, it makes us better people in the long run. I suggest that if YOU think everyone in SL is mentally unstable, the solution is clear, just hit the little red X in the upper right hand corner and walk away from the computer. Just my 2 lindens.

You know you CANNOT put anything on the internet that isn't true, right Charolotte? *grins* AND, I heard that on the internet, so it HAS to be true, right??

[Charolotte Caxton]

[Heart Brimmer]

Exactly what I was thinking, Charolotte! So, it HAS to be true, they even did a commerical about it! *grins*

I think most have been unfair to the OP, a lot do have the odd problem, it is clear that a lot here can't show empathy, the OP was calling out but so many could only see themselves, if the OP is reading this then don't feel so bad, change what you do, remember forums are like school yards and always have a gang of bullies standing in the corner waiting to prey on anyone feeling down.

[Charolotte Caxton]

Unfair in which way, he asked what we thought about being called mentally ill and we replied.

[Boudicca Littlebird]

Yes you did.

How do we know that He is not a SHE?

Or something in-between for that matter?

Well, that can happen when one tries to engage a bunch of mentally unstable whackos like us!

Ahhh...but you see...nobody here did feed the troll, so it went away.

Normal folks are boring anyway. I prefer hanging out with a bipolar dude who went all those mood-shift every minute, and stuff like that.

Maybe you're hanging around the wrong people. Is it places you frequent that attract these types? I don't know about you, but I see plenty of screwed up people in real life as well.

[Phil Deakins]

I don't agree that most SL users are odd (I prefer 'unusual') but some certainly are. A number of people have said it of themselves in the forum, stating that SL is a great help to them. I met one person who told me that she was in a mental home, and she was. We talked on voice and I could hear other obvious patients in the background.

But it doesn't matter. A person I am communicating with is what I perceive them to be. If s/he appears 'normal' then s/he is normal to me, regardless of how s/he is in the real world. The opposite is also true.

Well pep certainly fits that description so there is at least one out there

Occasionally I have encountered some odd or objectionable residents in Second Life, but most people seem friendly and 'normal' - in that their behaviour doesn't lead me to imagine that they must be mad in real life.

I don't think Second Life is any worse than the internet as a whole for mad behaviour.  Anyone who's experienced a few internet forums or chat rooms would probably agree with me!

No, not Martian.  We recognize each other instantly no matter what the disguise maybe.

I'm thinking she/he/it may be a Thespian!
