So does the forum life overpowers ur personal life?

Do you keep the forum with you even when you log off?

How important is IF for you and why?

Do you feel upset and sad over something that happens in the forum even when u are not it?

Somewhat. When I had to go out last month for the last 7 days, I was very much worried about losing my lead and coming out 2nd on the IF addicts list.πŸ˜†

Do you keep the forum with you even when you log off?

What's that?? How do one do it?? πŸ˜•πŸ˜†

How important is IF for you and why?

To be very frank, not at all important realistically but still I love the chance to interact with different people.

Do you feel upset and sad over something that happens in the forum even when u are not it?

When personal attacks are made I do feel angry but not sad. And angry at that ID holder, I don't carry that in my real life.

Yes, absolutely when sitting alone, not after N is home.

I do laugh over some witty posts and share them, so in that case yes. We also participate in several creative games and activities at JJKN, which need work after logging off and some (rare) but really deeper debate questions asked that may require reading.

How important is IF for you and why?
IF has become a real "professional-help-seeking-worthy addiction" 🀒🀒🀒and hopefully i will find another inexpensiveπŸ˜†πŸ˜† hobby "not equaly addictive."- because PSP din't help.
I am sure with my next job, it'll go away, but in the transition period, it is wayyy out of control and over-powering.

Do you feel upset and sad over something that happens in the forum even when u are not it?

I will speak for myself - I am much at ease and peace a person and get unnecessarily riled up here at DM, still i dunno what brings me here whole day ( i only know who do 😳 and they are every second online worth it πŸ˜ƒ)

I remember once reading a comment by Dr. ji, that there's always a second option of getting a life. πŸ˜‰ I really did πŸ˜† when I read that. I-F's biggest addict spends atleast 14 hours a day on i-f πŸ˜• Is it REALLY THAT addictive that you have no social life?

Don't believe everything you see πŸ˜†, online visions can be deceptive.πŸ˜›

The last question, definitely yes!!
In Indian Cricket match(I'm a huge fan) when people say negative things about India I get so 😑 Also, in other TV serial forums, against my favourite actor, it gets me quite annoyed. For that matter, when supporting a friend and people laugh and try to make fun out of him/her.
IF is important I guess, because for those you do not talk to on MSN, this is the only way of contact. 😊
But I am glad to say I have never let it overpower me and i've never been in the addict list either.

You leave all your offline friends and stay more in contact with your online friends? Nothing wrong with online friends but at the end of the day personally speaking, your real offline friends come in hand not those sitting half way across the world from you. πŸ˜• And the person who spends thr least amount of time in the addict list is atleast 9 hrs I think. πŸ˜• After school or college or uni it is atleast 3:30, spending 9 hours, how do you get your work done? Dion't grades drop? It's your future after all.
I think I went off topic, sorry about that. 😳 I-F will always be a part of everyone's life, its addictive but shouln't overpower your lives, well I guess that dpeneds on your willpower lol. πŸ˜†

Sorry again if I did not answer your question. 😳 πŸ˜•

Thanks for the views..

Regarding the highlighted part.......some of my friends on this forum are more real to me than the ones i meet everyday.......even if they are miles apart from me...😊

That's right. Using Firfox on Mac, I have noticed that log off never really works unless I log off and quit the program and log back in. That's too much work. If someone sends a PM and does not get read in 2 minutes, that means handle is stuck and qt is not really online. πŸ˜†

Some smart computer geeks also pretend to be online in racing for the number 1 addict spot πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†, what say souro and koeinbobo? πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†
