Is there a difference between socializing on 4chan and socializing in real life?

You can be yourself on 4chan but you'll never feel loved if you aren't in person

socializing in real life get you into groups/clicks that you can belong too. but maybe that is not so important anymore. because im sure feeling a sense of belonging to 4chan as a group. its more like tribe mentality. I bet when humans were in tribes.. they didn have friends or groups within the tribe. because you could always just talk to anybody in the tribe any time.. you didnt need the concept of friendship because you had tribeship. this all fell apart as trbes fell apart and we started big society. in that kind of environment you needed to make networks ofr friends and form groups that you could belong to. because its not socially correct to talk to stranger. 4chan is like a tribe. were we can all talk to each other and tell each other everything without actually be friends. of course we cant touch eachoter. so we lose that human interaction

Haven't studies shown that online interaction providers practically no social benefit or enjoyment? It doesn't fulfill our social need at all.

Is there a difference between sitting at a computer and typing and interacting with real people outside of my home where I am required to wear pants?

>>6004057 > because its not socially correct to talk to stranger. Yes it is. Well, it is not unacceptable, i talk to strangers sometimes. Anyways there is a difference. You. Annot make bounds with someone where everybody is just anonymous, people are all homogeneus. There are also several factor like body language and so on.

Yes, if you call someone a faggot in real life you might get your jaw busted in, or suspended from your high school for hate, speech, op.
