Omegle, the place to meet people

 Not even kidding. I go to Omegle.com when I'm bored and I even find it worthwhile. Omegle has found a reputation for being a place for pervs and trolls, but surprisingly, not every person on there is looking for cyber sex. In fact, I've met a lot of really interesting people over the last few days.

I've talked to people about stupid boys, stupid girls, financial woes, and many other things. People need to talk, sometimes, and if done right, Omegle can be the anonymous place to wonder if your fiance will still love you when you come back from the army, or to relax after a hard day's work. For a lot of people, it's a place to find a new friend, or just someone to connect with for a few seconds.

I can't help it... I love people. I love the way they are on the internet, listening and talking hidden behind electronic veils, yet at the same time revealing the things they worry about or celebrate. You're who you are, or maybe who you want to be, on Omegle. There's no point to hiding, but if you want to affect the personality you wish you could be, that's easy enough too. There actually is a point to hiding certain things- name, credit card, location, etc- but what's on your mind, or what you want from life can be laid bare to see and you are barely vulnerable.

I think some of the best conversations have been where we both have something weighing us down and we need to just talk it out. Sometimes you can't rely on your friends or family, but you don't want to just rely on yourself. One guy was worried that he was going to change so much that his fiance wouldn't love him anymore. We spent a while talking about it, sorting it out until he felt better. Then we talked about my issues, because you can't open up to someone if they don't want to open up to you. That's not how it works. It's like a trading of vulnerabilities.

That's the most interesting thing to me, but I'm also fascinated by people who are putting up these fronts on Omegle- the ones who are trying to be tough, or sexy, or snarky. You can tell they aren't, it doesn't flow naturally, but on some level, that is who they want to be. I can dig that.

Then we have the funny people who can take a level of absurdity and just run. The ones who ask you what dinosaur you are, and begin theoretical discussions on the existence of superheros. Those people are great... So every horny person on the site can suck my nonexistent dick and find some porn. I'm going to keep going back when I'm bored, because there's diamonds in the rough, and I like talking to them.
