internet poll on the internet

This is bound to be a bit skewed because the people who spend the most time on the internet will be more likely to vote.

I personally spend way too much time on the internet, although I'm cutting back these days.

I do spend a bit too much time online at the moment. in the past i'd hardly be online at all, most of this year i've spent a lot of time on here cause ive needed to, now, i need to get out there and try to spread my wings a little, learning how to do that in a more healthy way. it would be best really for me to be online a couple of hrs in the evening - and not stay awake too late! but a lot of the time i have been finding it hard to sleep too.

If I could be online 24-7, I would!

I used to spend way too much time online! But now that I'm preparing the house for a baby, and being a house wife, I balance my time out a bit better now.

It can be quite intoxicating...sometimes I do spend 24 hours, or close to that, online. And I don't play any video games.

It's funny, when I go for a few days or weeks without the internet, I feel so different. Definitely healthier, but missing certain things.

I think the thing with that is getting into a state where the positive things you get online you can find realtime too, and any things you get online that maybe you shouldn't need are things you learn to overcome. to be totally honest i don't think being online too much is good for people, and somehow when you get stuck into being online too much, breaking out into the realtime world has to be done sooner or later. it is hard to balance with things like BPD causing problems tho.
