and now?....check my mood again...because of that i decided to take a break from SL...but SL doesnt leave me alone...  I just want to relog...but i know if i relog too soon..it will be worse...for now i am resisting
I am not like those Slusers than use it as a double life...to rp...having 2 loves..a SL and a RL...
For me, due to the fact i am alone during weekdays + plus being uber nerd and yeah low self esteem i might say..a bit...I extended my social life to SL..and since i wanted to be loved too  i delivered myself to "love"......and then it became RL........a lot of investment...Voice Chat.....treating each other by rl names...
Well...as fast as light....everything changed and i got the boot...not my fault..not her fault..circumstances fault...
Now i am feeling lower than a door mat...and i am still thinking in going back.......and probably do the same mistakes again....

Been there, done that. We all do that.
SL can get to you. I never set out to find love in
SL. Quite the opposite. And I can relate to your description of yourself. Nerdy, really lonely. I don't have the perfect situation right now, but I did find love in
SL, it reached out to RL, like you said, voice chat, first name.
I think a break from
SL might be good right now for you. It was for me.

You don't know me, but if you want to chat, talk about it, I'm a good listener, and I've been where you are now.
