I'm a real homebody, so I like the fact I can chat & interact with people in my own home without really having them over. ( I don't have to worry if the house needs dusting.) I can mingle with 'like minds' which I would have a hard time hunting down in real life. People are more open on the internet, I think, given the anonymous aspect of not being seen. And most of all, I can log on in my own time & not have to make plans with people.
As a footnote, I've only been online a little over a year (late bloomer). I don't know how I lived without it.
