Web : Breaking Social Barriers

How rare could it be to see a popular girl hanging out with a nobody? It may happen but only 1 in every thousand. 

    It seems so awkward for a girl whos social status is in the top, meaning, she is beautiful, a cheerleader perhaps, a very confident person, in short popular, to be hanging out with a guy who is, at all, if not low, no profile at all. But it seems life finds its own ways inorder for these two worlds to communicate.

And here comes the 3 big W's. Yes you're right. The world wide web. It seems that it is a refuge to those guys who can't normally express themselves in the real world. They become really different persons in the web. Suppose that this guy is so silent and can't even talk to someone he likes, be a confident and cool lad when it comes to the net.

I will share an experience. Honestly, I'm this type of guy who can't express himself in the public. I'm just your plain normal guy who goes to school to attend classes, enjoy the company of friends, and watching over my crush and dreaming of me saying my feelings to her. But POOF, here comes reality…!! She's popular and cool and me, just another guy who waste his time keeping his thoughts in mind. And you know what, in the web, I feel like I'm the most adorable guy any girl would wish to be with (exaggerated a little). I feel like I can express myself without having to worry about what others would say (they can't see me anyway).

And then came a friend. I knew her in some fora. She is cool, friendly and pretty "kalog" in a sense. I tried to impress her the first time I joined in the forum to get her attention and then, after sometime, we added ourselves in each IM's. Wow! its really cool. I just barely knew her, maybe a week, and its like I knew her for months. She's been very friendly.

One night, I talked to her about my situation (the being an ordinary guy), and surprisingly as I asked what is her status in her school, It amazed me, she's a popular, top of the food chain! And she talked to me like we are in the same status. Man what a confident guy I am. She's really cute (too bad she has a boyfriend… hehehe…). Anywayz. She advised me on what to do inorder to be confident and I'm willing to change myself for the better. She's really a cool online friend.

This encounter is really rare. Imagine, popular girl talks with ordinary guy. Yes it happened. Thanks to the web. The web breaks barriers in the real social world. It boost up the confidence of people like me to talk to the "unreachables" (geeky vocabulary). See the power of the web. Amazing isn't it?
