Online works makes me anti social.

i think it depends on you my friend.. working online did not prohibit you for socializing with another people.. You should plan balance with online and ofline activity.. iam online man but i loves playing futsal, and it means i can do something activity outside computer, laptop and internet connection.. once again it is depends on your choice my friend

hmmm... actually, not. you have 24 hour per day in your life. if you said you work, i don't think so, because it's about hobby. so use your work hour with effective, and you can socialize with people in real life. it just depend on you.

Sometimes I do find myself a little bit anti-social because of the invention of the internet. I think I'd rather just stay home and do some stuff online rather than meeting up people for coffee or something like that. I know some of my buddies are angry with me these days because I have always declined most of the invitations for coffee or a night out because I'd rather be home. Well, I have always been like this, I don't really like going out at night. But I think the internet has made me crawl back to my cave more often. But hey, this is better compared to going out spending money, right? But yeah, don't get me wrong, I don't ALWAYS prefer the internet. I think it depends on the time, I don't like going out at night but I always am okay when the invitation is during the days or daytime. I guess the invites are just at the wrong time ehehe.. I really don't like going out at night. Period. Have a great mylot experience ahead!

Hi there Angelpink, Same as you are, I have noticed that as well. Since my time was too occupied by my online gigs. As a consequence, there are times that I can't afford to go out to have a social life with other friends. Especially now that I have set my target earnings, I am doing double time in my online tasks.

Online works is addicting. Although i'm a stay at home mom but it was only lately that i was addicted to internet activity. this helps me while away the time while alone in our house and waiting for my children to be home. i'm not fond of hanging around with neighbors and doing online activities healed me of boredom that i usuall felt then when i'm alone at home.

yeah..online works do make us could not notice the time.i have the same feeling too.but human is a social animal and we cannt live just depends on internet or online.you should try to go out and play with you friends or familys.if you keep on feeling like that,it is suggest that you should see a doctor.any way ,good luck

Hi there! It is said - "excess of everything is bad". So if you feel that you are overdoing anything i.e. spending more time on your PC, you need to restrict it. Social interaction is very necessary and isolation from friends or relatives etc. may land you in trouble in future. You need to spend time with them also. All the best.

I agree and disagree with you. If you would allow your work consume you so much even though you don't work online you'll be anti-social. being social is a choice. There are people who basically enjoys hiding their persona in the internet and there are those who are flaunting themselves no matter what peopel say. Being social you don't have to care what the society says or how they judge you. Though I also work most of the time with my computer I make sure to meet my family and friends. I have a dat enight with my husband every Saturday and night out with friends on Fridays or days when all of us are all free. My family are always around so I usually stop what I'm doing with my computer and attend to them. Physical contact or interaction is more meaningful for me.

Online jobs are very fun and addicting especially when it gives us flexibility that we can arrange our home tasks as we like, but not for those who are always feel bored at home without seeing their friends, when working online, the most rewarding thing is it is flexible and getting the money every week depends where you live, the opportunity differs to those who lives outside US, but there are many online jobs for us, the problem is if we rely on the online full time, can we pay our internet bills, if one manage to survive then he or she should appreciate the way it is. I guess you are making ample a month, but just feeling isolated, don't worry online friends still the same, arrange your time properly when its time to go out, then go out for a while to refresh your mind, come back and continue your work. I always do that when working online.

I have always been at home most of the times even when there was no Internet yet. I am not anti social or anything. I am not able to get lucky in life to be able to gain lots of friends.

i have been experiencing it for a lot of time and i feel these things have made me totally anti social since i cant concentrate on outside work and cant spend more time for recreational activities.most of the time its like getting glued and stress factor becomes more.the fact of the matter is quite inevitable,we cant avoid it at times and i find it really pissed off since most of the work gets delayed and its not fine at all. So i think we must prepare a schedule in such a way that we must spend time equally based on itinerary and then we can split up work with ease. Then we can experience and get the best of both the worlds.so always try to focus more on fun and enjoyful activities all the way.other wise we will really move down in terms of health factor

That's quite true, when you spend a considerable amount of time on the Internet doing all kinds of stuffs. However, I still think the most important friends you should have are those real-world ones that live around you. The way you guys communicate is the intuitive way human beings communicate and therefore I only expect to have bosom friends in my real-life social circle.

This is actually true.I also experienced this when I started mylotting. Usually, I spend my day talking to my friends or chatting with them on skype.But now I hardly go online in skype. Instead, i go mylotting to earn some extra cash. It did make me a bit anti-social.

same with me here, since i started working online, I found myself less using social networking sites like FB and twitter. BUt that's fine with me working online is cool for me as a mom, I can work in my home office, can spend more time with the kids and so on. It's fine with me there's advantages and disadvantages.

You are correct there friend,that you are already putting some line where you are socializing,yet still you are still socializing in the internet because it does not mean that socializing is always in the limelight of the outside world.Internet is still socializing,but with your own words against the words of other people,so what is the difference there of socializing outside your house.The only difference here is that you are not finding your other friends in the streets anymore,but you still meet people not just the real people but in the pictures in the internet.You are still sociable friend just like what we do as of this moment exchanging discussions.Is not it?

There must be some balance between online and offline activities. I do online work, but keep in touch with my associates, friends and relatives regularly! This makes me more smart to promote and workout my online programs! I never work between 10am to 2pm and 4pm to 8pm. In rest of the hours, I only work maximum up to 5 hours per day in total. I believe, "Inch by inch, everything becomes a clinch... Yard by yard everything becomes too hard!!" Hope you may agree with this and plan yourself accordingly!! Thanks for this nice topic and have a nice day!!

Yes before when we want to talk with someone else we need to meet them on some places or at least call them. But now, chat is the trending way in communicating with others. Anti-social in a way that we spend more time with our computer not like before that we spend most of our time we spend being with our friends. But I really think that online has also made new ways in socializing with other people.

I was practically like a hermit two years ago. It was the time that I quit my job and decided to teach online. My whole day and evening were occupied with online classes and it was also the same time I discovered mylot. I got so hooked up with that life that for a year, i haven't met any of my friends. Good thing we stumbled upon each other somewhere again and they invited me out. Now i'm meeting them once or twice a month to party or during special occasions like birthdays.

I felt that way too, when I was in the peak of my online job, however after a month has passed my life came back to normal again, so I'll say it's just a phase. ^^

I am like you. I can get sucked in easily to these things I do online to earn. I like to be anti-social when it comes to that because it feels good to earn online! Some days I can't be though and I won't get enough done to even make a mark.
