I thought i will share something about this peculiar app on the application
It somehow reminds me of The Sims or any other social interaction games
So i got a bunch of friend requests today.
But tbh i dont know them!
The only basis as to why we should even remotely be friends is that we have a lot of common friends
So i added them which i always do
Den a thought popped up in my head
Would people 'add' friends as easily in real life?
I can only imagine
Person A sees Person B on the street with Person C who is a friend of Person A
Person A-"Why, Hello C. Nice to see you around."
Person C-"Hello! What a coincidence!"
Person B-*More often than not will keep silent
Blah blah after 5 mins of coversation
Person A-"May i know you more? B"
Person B-"I accept!"
A and B-"Awesome we are now friends!"
Im pretty sure that wont happen at a mainstream level that soon
So what is hindering most of us from abandoning our inhibitions?
I always thought it was funny that you can make a friend in The Sims by Chat x5 hugx3 make jokex3 purposex1 make outx1 And jesus you are now married!
Maybe firstly, everyone(at least almost everyone) is much nicer than their real life counterparts(And more vulnerable as can be seem from chatrooms fiascoes)
Perharps it is that we do not detect things like facial expressions and tones and body postures
And everyone comes to assume everything spoken is genuine, nice and friendly
Secondly, i think we are that just more trusting and open when we cant see each other's faces
Its like for example on MSN, if you run out of things to say, you can pretend to go AFK and watch some youtube vids den come back 5 mins later and continue the topic
Try doing that in real life
*in the middle of conversation*
Hold on i think i have a listen of my newest songs first or i think i stone for 5 mins
Talk to me later

I know this is pretty random=)

Bennie out=)
