I don't. I think I've become a better communicator because of my interactions online!

    I don't know that it has changed either way, but in some ways, there are some things missing about communicating online. The non verbal cues, the sparkle in someones eyes, the nod, or wink, the tone and pitch of ones voice, for example.

    I think I've become less bothered with face to face conversations as I find it easier to chat online, I wouldn't say I find it more difficult to interact face to face, I'm just lazy!

    Not at all, I prefer face to face since facial expressions lets you know if the person knows what they are talking about or if they are just making up an answer to a question. Face to face lets you question them more about their answer and face to face lets you know for sure if you are speaking to a man or woman, or a young teen-ager.

    me too! Funny you should ask because I thought about this the other day. I am more outgoing since I have been on YA. These comebacks that I always thought but never expressed...I know express outwardly, not just online

    No I don't find it more difficult. I sometimes find myself answering others with my hands doing keystrokes though. Lol.

    Sometimes it's much easier, and other times it can get harder for me. I guess this would depend on what the situation was.
