A digital pseudo-
reality boasting your '
Real IP Address Self' has hundreds of close human 'friends' beyond those you actually have. Yet, the preponderance of these are anomalous entities, much
like avatars or quintessences of the collective imagination of those involved. These pixel-meld hallucinations are typically of someone you have
never met,
never will, or even if you did, you wouldn'
t recognize each other, which proves the point entirely. 'Friends' are virtual, semi-actualized characters who 'liked' something you said in a lucid moment; are attracted to someone you resembled; were amused by a photo you posted; or related to purported fun or
drama.
But since they are never online after befriending you (& they think you are weird if you write them later or think they are actually there) it shows you have bought into this parallel macrocosm of distortedly amplified friendship. Participation severely underlines your extreme insecurity about having few or no '
real' friends since you are willing to make friends with anyone under the slightest pretext & even buy into a scam that gives you a warm,
fuzzy sensation of being part of a benign worldwide social network (that may not even include your actual
family & friends), but is mainly trying to sell you
stuff via tailored ads that materialize on the right, regarding everything you talk about. Just post any word that crosses your mind to see behind the fabric of this lucrative venture. Ka-ching!
