A kind voice and a willing ear are always helpful. And it makes you a better person to recognize the pain of another when you’re a teen.
Huh, thank you for making memories of me doing this slightly less cringy.
It’s not cringy at all
Cringe is just embarrassment leaving the body.
I shit you not, this happened to me with old school RuneScape.
Me too, but in Diablo 2. Nothing sexual happened or anything. She lived in California and I lived much further north, but it’s kind of funny/scary that this is a common a occurrence with divorced women and underage boys.
they were probably just talking aboit their lives with whoever they met in the game which statistically would be likely to be that demographic
No it definitely got weird. At least in my case. We talked on the phone a lot and she asked me multiple times to fly out to California to meet her. She even ended up talking to my mom on the phone. I’ll just say my parents aren’t good parents or even good people, but whatever small amount of concern my mom had was gone after that. I was in middle school so there wasn’t any way I could have flown out to meet her so maybe that’s why my parents stopped caring. Regardless, the woman eventually lost interest. At the time I didn’t even realize how weird it was.
story time?
Dude was playing old school runescape, helped a chick through a divorce.
I found myself in this same situation as a teenager with no social experience in my first months on AOL.
I mean, I went on to continue to operate and run relationship advice forums and learned a lot about psychology and emotional intelligence and have been thanked by a lot of people for using those tools to provide perspectives to people struggling in their personal lives.
But still, it’s pretty wild that in the last three decades or so we’re still treating everyone as the same faceless entity on the internet, for better or worse. (Usually worse. You need to start assuming anyone you talk to online is like, 12, because most of them are.)
When i was like 14, my best friend was an ex-veteran who moved from America to Germany because of PTSD and hate towards America.
I have thought about this reply for about 9 hours and still cannot connect it to my comment, unless of course you left out one word:
moved from America to Germany because of PTSD and hate towards America Online.
If this is what you meant, then yes, I wholeheartedly agree and support your friend. Just trying to cancel their service alone was traumatizing.
Well, his hate wasnt online, but our friendship was 🤷♂️ through WoW
What’s wild is that people don’t realize that many posts/opinions online are propaganda in disguise.
getting groomed but at the same time she gave you a rune plate so its worth
Idk getting sick armor and my dick sucked sounds pretty fair to me…
typical dot world
Impressive beard for a 13-year old.
He might just be a dwarf
Humans are social creatures and socializing goes a long way with dealing with this experience we call life.
We will still be traumatized by life long after we die
I don’t really think there’s more after life.
13? …
In what, leap years?
You can be whatever age you want online.
Martian. Or a maybe a Belter.

“She” was a 48-year-old Midwestern man who still appreciates those tender words that so touched his soul all those years ago, B1gD0ngHaver13. We’ll always have those nights in Elwynn Forest. 🤎

I remember doing this with a firefighter. Whoever he was, I remember his pain in chicago, even if I couldn’t really understand it.
WoW was a magically place. I played with a random dude for 1-2 months leveling up my 1st char, and when we tried the new voice chat i figure out he was a 38 years old man with a deep bass voice (i was 18).
Some time after in a dungeon run with random people, in voice chat popped a kid with a voice so soft… i thought that was a girl, but no he was a 13 year old boy. I was like what is happening in this game?
Vsauce! Micheal here!
I have 0 facial recognition. I cant tell if thats a really old screenshot of micheal or not
It’s not.
Upon closer inspection, now it looks like the guy from the TIL youtube channel. Given my skillz, probably not him but im reasonably confident in saying theyre close probably
No idea what he looks like, so I’ll just assume you’re right 👍
Thats a bold assumption to make knowing i suck at this lol
Hmmmmmm… could be the same guy
Are you tge Persona 3 protag?
At this point…. What ISN’’T a meme?
Thats a nice beard for a 13 year old
I remember this happening to me too on osrs, my rsn was Zezima at that time… 😉
Sure it was
Wasn’t this a subplot in persona 3?
