Oh I wrote a long post up for this but then I forgot to save it

Anyways! Yeah the Internet does affect me. I know that when people online here are sad, then I'm generally sad, and, I do care about their feelings and all that. However, that doesn't necessarily show how much the Internet affects me as a person. I think about the Internet a lot, sure, that's expected because I spend a lot of time online, so it makes sense. I know there was a time when people were against me and I didn't really understand why at the time and that really affected me. I know I had nightmares, I was sad often... I shouldn't have let the Internet affect me like it did - but hey, it happened and the past is the past. I know that when something bad happens online, I'm usually pretty annoyed IRL, or something along those lines. And yet when I'm happy online... I'm a lot more happy IRL. Aaaannnd I treat everyone as if they're next to me (or IRL), which is how everyone should treat each other online.
As for other things... I know when I used to like guys online, I used to get sick IRL, haha... I dunno why, but it's how my body dealt with liking people online. I know it started from a random comment and I guess it just carried on. As for Internet relationships in general, I believe and know they can work, just depends on the people and how honest they are, etc. It's just case by case, as to whether Internet relationships are good for some. I know it's good for me, and has been for nearly 6 months. :3
