IS THE USE OF INTERNET MAKING YOU EMOTIONLESS?

[Xenophoto]

So there is a feel that I am being socially awkward with less cheerful activities and loss of interest in real life. I used to watch lot of movies, romantic and tragedies, but now i don't get any feels for them. Also, my real life friends are starting to fade away. Do you feel the same? Or is the overuse of Internet proving beneficial?

In one period of my life I had the same experience as you.
In fact, I was depress and was trying just to find some funny things on Internet, play around in order to get rid of negative feelings and to have some fun.
Of course I realized that Internet is not solution.
If you want real life than you need real friends, not virtual friends and virtual life over Internet.
Internet can be good in some aspect of our life like payments, Internet banking, buying things, communication etc.
But, believe me, you have to go out and do something practical, meet real people, do real things or you will become more isolated and depressed.

You should also consider the fact that some people are already in the part where they are isolated from the society and are depressed because of that. Do you have any advice for those people that are already on that stage?

Some emotionless people can not go out of the depression and social anxiety hole anymore. Even if they are outside, they feel all alone. Surrounded by million people but would still feel alone simply because internet has been a "home" for most of them. Most internet people are being bullied in real life and are being praised on the internet. That is why they tend to isolate themselves from the society in the real world and make the internet a place where they can be socially accepted.

Emotionless?  uhm.. I still cry, laugh, frown, and get mad whenever I watched video clips on the internet.  On the part of friends that are fading away, yes I agree in a way that I can still communicate with them on social medias but I am always absent whenever there are social gatherings.  Internet makes me always sad whenever I looked on my friends status.  It makes me weak, cause I have no time to exercise because I spent all my time looking and browsing.  They are using me more than I am using them.

Personally I think you are a lot more likely to find fake people in real life than online. People are generally less shy/fearful and speak their minds more freely when they cannot be identified. If your friends are fading away, perhaps they were never that close to you in the first place. I think what you're experiencing is simply a reality check, you're starting to see the world for how it actually is. It's a good thing as long as you don't wallow in self pity.

Yes you can't change yourself physically but you can change your mindset or the way how you perceive things by learning and gathering information. This things makes you knowledgeable that even change your point of view in life.

Lmao i think it is just happening to you , you should take a break from online activities and stop for a while get back to your real life and the real world .  i admit that i am spending more of my time on the internet but i still have my emotions and i still have a good social life not in the virtual world .

To a certain point yes.

But usually the act of however that person usually is, can be based on you being genuine or not.

Which they can reflect the same way if you are..have you noticed that before?

I can't relate to that sorry, I know that I stay the same whether the people around me are genuine or not. I certainly do not alter my behavior in any way to reflect their fakeness back at them. It has to be said that I have exactly zero friends in real life precisely because I do not/can't pretend. It's not that I think I'm better than other people, I just can't fake being happy to see/be around people or fake being interested in conversations. I know a lot of you might think that I have a sad life but truth is I couldn't be happier. That doesn't mean that I'm an ass to everyone I meet, I'm always professional and courteous, it's just that I don't/can't pretend to care beyond my respect for life in any form. I see all instances of life as equal.

you have stop it for a while bro , if you will became more emotionless and will be afraid to interact with other people and the worst scenario is you can make a bad thing that is not affecting your feelings and emotion .

[Seansky]

Well for me ill say half. I still have emotions though but I don't cry that much now when I get hurt or experiencing problems. Guess internet gave me clear mind in face of a problem or sorrow maybe that's the reason why I don't cry and feel much of it and I always solve it calmly not like when I don't always use internet.

[jiefes]

I have a feeling that  internet makes me even more emotional after I have more information about what interests me.

[romero121]

Not at all. In various factors internet had made a big impact on the emotions of users. The communication which has been better with the internet had made relations get closer.

But you can never really deny how internet too has also been a culprit of a lot of crimes and offenses. Well I guess from the get go this can't be helped.

I am just spending more of my time on internet than spending it with my buddies i think that is the only thing that internet changed me but im sure that i still have a good social life outside the cyber world and i still have a complete emotion . I can still laugh so hard , i can still feel a pleasure and even a pain physically and emotionally .

very good. i have also the same feelings. i think there is no such element in internet that can make a person feeling less. i also set all the time in front of computer using internet but still i am sound and healthy having sound body and feeling.

well i agree with you with everything you just said except for one thing. this circumstances are more observed in the current generation. young people nowadays have a great deal of tendency to be more snob and emotionless.

Any studies confirm that? Most I saw was that younger people that spent too little time in face to face interactions could have problems with nonverbal communication. So couldn't read faces well, or body language, etc. But that alone doesn't mean they are less emotional or snob.

but i have no such feeling. i think i am feeling nothing. i even cannot observe any changes while using internet or after using internet. i feel normal. it cannot bring any change in my emotion. i have full control on my emotion.

I also feel that the youny generation of 21st century who spent more time on internet are becoming emotionless.
They are losing track of the basic human instinct. They are mostly engaged in their virtual life and are less concerned about being together with other people.
