Whenever I play an online game, I am bound to talk to the other people who are playing with me. We would talk about the subject that we are interested in (for this: the game itself), and if we hit it off, we would add each other as friends. Whenever we are online, we would join together and do various missions and player-versus-player. The process seems to be normal, almost the same as engaging in a live conversation. But why do some people find virtual reality much more fun?
there are a couple of dot points why virtual reality might be better and more exciting
- It’s fun
It maybe simple, but it’s true. Whether you don’t find any friend that likes what you like, or you’re the person that talks to strangers like you’re bestie, meeting new people seems fun, and you get to meet a broader type of people. Different from 15-20 years ago, where the people you know are the people you pass by every day, Now you can open Omegle and say hi a random person from any part of the world!
- You’re not looking
Before you ask for that boy or girls’s Facebook page of profile pic, you won’t know what she looks like, and she’s shaped like. You won’t judge them by their looks, but by your chat with them. Unless you’re a monk, you will have a first impression of a person by their face. That is undeniable. Believe me, I know people who befriend another people just because they’re smokin hot. But when you try to talk them, boring as hell.
- It’s easier
If you think you’re not a match with that person, you can just politely say you should never talk to each other again, or just use a shortcut, delete, or in case of Omegle, just end chat that shit. You won’t find every people on the internet good. Some might be weird, some you should just leave. Trust me on this.
- You don’t have to answer right away
Having that moment when you finished talking with your friend and you just.. stop. You don’t know what topic to talk to next. The awkward moment is… awkward. You can argue that ‘best friends never stop talking about anything, or you just suck at talking’ but I think we’ve had that moment before. It’s different in the internet. You can spend a couple seconds thinking what to say, or if you’re like me, you’ll answer your friends WhatsApp the day after tomorrow.
- You don’t need to spend money
This is something that I find annoying even when i’m with my best friends. We like to hang out at each other’s house, but they always wanted to go out and eat something. I might just follow them and not eat with them, but since I’m always hungry, I’m always buying. But when you’re chatting online with stranger you don’t need to spend a coffee with them. The only tool you need is your phone
Even though virtual world has so many good points, It’s a fact that face to face conversation will always be better, because you can engage more, and it would be more satisfying for both of you. If you find yourself spending most of your time in the virtual world, it means you’re not receiving comfort from your real world, unless you’re playing virtual reality with your face to face friends. Try to find friends from the people around you, and if you can’t, then try the virtual world. Many people find their best friends from the other side of the world, and it’s not wrong. But eventually you’ll want to meet in person, so why not give a chance to the people here? Do you have any other dot points about virtual reality?
