What is the psychology behind gambling addiction online Second Life?
Why do so many people so addicted to this game Online? If you do not know what this game is, let me tell you then. It is a virtual online game similar to Instant Messaging Programs Instant Message such as Yahoo Messenger, AOL Instant Message, etc., but rather to create their own virtual avatar, teleport to different virtual terrorities, turn your real dollar Linden Dollars (one dollar = 270 Linden dollars) to buy your property, selling products in their own stores benefits. People made of virtual novels with others, get married, have virtual children. It's basically living a second life. What exactly is the psychology behind the addiction of this game Online? Can anyone tell me?
OK, here we go again. Every time someone questions about SL is not always the idiot who says it's for losers fat-free real life -. Yes there are some in SL for disabled Come on. center of this "not real life" in the thing for a while but … I have one. Before I had a wonderful life in the real social world. By the way, my disability is a minor comparred for some people, but still limits my life to a degree that makes my activities Social difficult age. I can not really complain that I have 50 now and when I have fun in real life … Boy I had fun! Some people are not so lucky. There are many people around the world dibilitating conditions and many are in Second Life. This is one of my friends who is 20 years old and the fight against breast cancer. His condition means can not lead a normal life. Think for a second. She's young, she's pretty, she's smart, but cancer took his real life. So it is SL. In SL is normal and your avatar can do normal things. In SL involved in what is called Relay for Life raises funds for cancer research. This is an announcement that we have obtained relief in the group today: "RCF has already raised more money this year than in all previous years combined total more than U.S. $ 160,000.00 so far! "My friend must celebrate this with us today. Instead, she is in a hospital bed, gravely ill after his last treatment. Tomorrow – the 2008 Second Life Relay for Life from this past weekend, thousands of us walk – in a virtual world – more than 37 regions in SL to celebrate those who fight cancer and remember those who lost the fight and in the process of trying to push this total a little more. Relay for Life is not only the largest cancer charity event in SL … now recognized as a great charity event attendance by non-SL – providing support to patients or cancer, their families and friends. In SL there is no stigma. In non Stop And Stare SL. Yes, some people behave in an addictive way to SL. Some even say they are dependent. I really believe is that they are so obsessed or addicted. Some people find it easier to SL to real life and is easy to see that as an option more attractive than real life. This can be in the long disappinting term, especially if the person is involved in a relationship and is attracted to the avatar in place of the person behind it. Despite my disability, I return real life and do what you do. As difficult as it is, even with real life friends in and out. Sometimes, even old-fashioned look to this form of television called entertainment. I will see my mother and stay for a few days to help with things. Despite the problems, I will always at least one music festival a year, and even sit with the other musicians and perform. For me – although I love my Second Life – I feel the need to be connected to the real world too. Some do not or not. For many of my disabled friends, or friends who are caring for a disabled child or a parent, are completely housebound and Second Life is their only escape from real life that has left just over prisoners in their own home. My friends in SL are no different from my friends in real life. Some I met in real life. The tears shed today the idea of the possibility of losing my friend in SL are as real as the tears to my best friend for life if he were real Therefore, during the past two years, became a real life friend I care deep. What SL not having an avatar is that you can customize their relationship with people. They become words. Only a fool would think that the avatar is an accurate representation of the real person, but – if done right – can be a representation of how the person wants to be or how to express themselves. Simple things like kissing between two avatars can often give a lot of things, like love, respect, solidarity, care, support and so on. Of course, there are strange people in SL and there have been cases of pedophiles have fun having sex with children simuating Avies in SL. But for whatever reason, the fact that a handful of Paedo used for their disruptive activities SL seems that some people think it is While acknowledging everyone in SL is pedophiles. It's like everybody accuses me all the uses of the Internet to be a pedophile because some people have used the Internet for this purpose. If Vacation in Thailand will automatically make you a pedophile? If you go on vacation Sicilly, you must become a member of the mafia? I'll buy a can of Diet Pepsi a place that sells alcohol, as an alcoholic? Somehow I think not. Generalizing all who use bad Seond life or losers because someone did something wrong or because there are some losers do so fanatical shock. It's bad enough we have idiots just looking for SL orgy they think happens after seeing some stupid media report all the sex we engage in SUPPs to be told that we are all nuts sad not help at all the sex. There are some very geeky but fun go in SL, as the game of fantasy role – something that I love. Yes, buying clothes is just playing dress, but it's fun, and when you think about it at a level Gameplay is so much fun for girls shooting things in Halo is for kids. So, okay, we spend money on this question, but what types spend money? The comics? Football gear? Games shoot-em-up? Sports games? Should I laugh at this? N – if you think it is fun and good value for money, you should go for it. All I ask in return that will show the same respect for me and my chosen hobby, which is Second Life. Hey, things could be worse. It occurred to me to call your door asking if you've heard the word of the Lord and try to force copies of The Watchtower at you. As it is, my interest has not chosen to impose in any way -. In this on relations to marriage and all that – but it is a personal thing it is not for everyone. I've been with the same partner in SL now for 17 months. None of us intend to find love in SL – it just happened and we intend to meet in person soon. All I can say is that we are a perfect match and I never would have happened without Second Life.
