So I don’t like people…ok wait let me rephrase that. I am shy around people I don’t know. Yes I am shy. I remember back in the day I could be in a room filled with people and I would have been the chick holding up the wall in the corner. As I got older I thought I grew out of it a little until technology hit my life. Now being anti-social has nothing to do with being shy and more to do with what the hell is going on twitter and facebook. *Side note* Today marks the 5 year anniversary since Twitter has launch* See only a damn internet junkie would know some dumb shit like that. No matter where I go I whip out the smart phone and troll the internet. Technology may have made a lot of us into social retards.
No matter where I go I feel like I’m missing something when I’m not at my computer, that’s why I got a smart phone. So I can feel like I’m at a computer without actually being at one. I can be in a gym, club or the damn doctor’s office and my dumb ass foursquares every where I go. If I have a question about anything in life before I ask the person next to me, I ask my twitter followers. Hell chances are 20 out the 1285 followers I have know the damn answer. If I’m out on a date *which hasn’t happened in months, but I digress* I’m itching to check my phone for any missed texts or check my twitter and facebook to see if I got any new updates. This is so damn sad. If I’m away from my phone for more than 10 mins I get the shakes. I hate talking on the phone. If you can’t text me we have nothing to discuss. I rather text than talk!!
Technology isn’t only ruining social lives, it also ruins personal lives as well. Do you know that Facebook has been cited in 20% of U.S. divorces. The internet is breaking up homes and shit. I guess you really can’t blame the internet for the shit you do or don’t do. The internet didn’t cause a chick to write on your wall thanking you for the good time you had on your date Saturday night, knowing that your wife is your facebook friend. Naw the internet didn’t do that. The internet isn’t to blame when you find out that the person you thought was your “heart” has other chicks listed on his facebook as the “person he’s in a relationship with”. The damn internet didn’t do that. The internet is blamed so many times for people who decide to do others wrong.
I’m gonna still blame the damn internet for the lack of a social life on my end. I can’t keep a man because of this shit. Hell this site alone is one of the reasons my relationships don’t work. Well maybe it’s not the internet our Candy Diaries. Maybe it’s the fact that the bullshit people I met can’t handle the vast realm of technology. This is a high speed 4G era, and these lame ass men need to get on board or get the hell off .

lol… I had a conversation with someone recently and I was telling them that I hate texting because people dont talk much anymore. Personally, I do believe the technology is great but it cripples social communication in people. (i cant believe you are shy V.I.) You see that statement alone is confusing because if one had to know you through your blogs, you are one very outspoken (angry at times, mean as a snake j/k) sister. Yet, you consider yourself shy and we dont know that because of technology. The one thing about technology is that you can be whoever you want to be. Which is why internet dating is serious, hilarious and dangerous all at the same time. Nowadays it doesnt matter who you meet online, its who you connect with offline. IMO

Lmao yea people that know me online refuse to believe I am shy offline. I\’ve always been that way. I have to get to know you and be around you a few times to be comfortable. I totally agree the internet allows you to be who you want to be. So many people get on this here internet and make their lives out to be something they wish they actually lived.
