Point of this group
EDIT: Initial post was not particularly elaborated, reason should speak over emotion and I was simply surprised about the paradoxical nature of what I had experienced.

Scientific studies increasingly seem to show a detrimental effect of technological overindulgement on cognitive functioning, ability to read emotion and socialisation. In some Asian countries, I would argue, you see the effects quite drastically (low birth rates, relationship avoidance soshokukei etc.). It makes one think, spent half a year in Japan.

Being a long term gamer myself, I am alarmed and start to see things from a different perspective now that I grow older. Social Skills are probably acquired and honed best within the framework of a hobby irl, I'll pick up martial arts again and maybe visit a convention to meet some people with similar interests. Can't deny the inner weeb^^

@Mod: feel free to delete this thread, my apologies

Correct title of the group is ”Social Anxiety Gamers”, join the discord instead

Lmfao, looks like you fit in just about right then. This group is for weeby teenagers who are naturally a social-reject class, so you can't expect good friendship or conversation when both of you are socially inept.

I mean think about it. How will you have a good commited friendship if you are socially dysfunctional, and chances are high the other person is of such nature as well?

Also this isn't what Facebook-like behaviour is. Facebook serves as a completely different media to what steam is, and this group in of itself is a subculture within steam's media which makes it even more uncommon.
Facebook-like behaviour would be adding people you may or may not know, and then never delete them but never talk either, and if it is for talking it's about favours, information, or revolving other things in life or sharing dumb stuff you find on the internet.
And that's the uncommon group within Facebook. The overall vast majority of people on Facebook will just keep personal people along with family, and people they've met, know, and have worked with, on Facebook.

Got added by someone, talked for a bit, silently removes me later in the day so I leave a comment on their profile and they delete it.

As any larger community does, this one lost it's point a long time ago. But that's no reason to curse humanity and take blames. I stick around to find people who genuinely, really want some company, even if just for a moment. That's my reason. There is no one to blame, really, so just take care and do what y'all feel is right.

This group features a wonderful thing.


It features people who add you just to remove you on the second day after being added.

Cool story changed my life. Oh also the people who want to suicide for no reason are hanging around here. But when you try to help these people they literally reject you. So; hehe xd. It's sad though.. I wish there would be an actual group that represents serious people.

I had only one person that I really talked to and had a good time with him. Other than that; nothing.
