Virtual Discussions

As Social Networking become a common aspect in our lives, virtual discussions sometimes play a crucial role in our day to day activities. We all chat with our friends, partners and also with our enemies. Not only in chat rooms; we have threads, like discussion forums and groups where many people can express their thoughts. But does this convey the feelings we have towards some fact in the exact way that they are supposed to.

Sometimes they do... yes.. but most of the time it's pretty hard to convey the emotion to the receiving party. People talking face to face can always see others expressions and those who talk over the telephones can hear the change in the voice of the other party which will give them an inkling about the emotion.

Lots of misunderstandings can be caused by this type of communication. So why do we still do this? That is because sometimes some people need more time to process their thoughts and covert them into words I guess. Those people can't discuss facts quickly. Nevertheless, we have more time to think when we write something which let us express our thoughts very freely and very clearly.


When it comes to very sensitive cases Virtual Discussions are almost useless. Despite, we have to participate in many face to face sensitive discussions in our lives. So we can't always rely on Virtual world. We have to step out and enhance our communication capabilities in real world. We should always try to discuss matters in person and try to grasp the exact view of the other party.

This will shape up our lives and there will fade out many misunderstandings.

Based on personal experience...
