i see exactly what your saying. No one really ever starts on the net. most are doing what your doing learning. But learning is some what of a start.
if people do start online, who cares, thats there life, ever though of just doing you and concerning less with what others do?

Why are you so hooked up on a the net not being "real life" im not dead when im online, i dont all of a sudden become a diffrent person when im online, I dont change my point of view when im online, i dont change my writting style when im online, im not dead when im online.

You speak like your tryna rectify yourself being online, just chill bro, the nets is the net.
of course there are diffrences being online then offline, but you coudl say the same about sitting ont he toilet taking a shit. theres a diffrence between being in the toilet and not being on the toilet.
