Why do you use this website?

I come here to speak my mind and I come here to be myself.

Why are you here OP?

To confirm I'm not the only weirdo in this world :)

A few reasons. I amuse myself. There's funny stuff to read. There's some people I like. Its good to get other peoples perspectives on things. I have learned some things that I wish I could unlearn though :/ Umm I guess it depends on the day and my mood why I come here. I don't know!! I don't know anything. I'm no help. I piss people off. I'm rambling about nothing again, aren't I. Yup.

Pure bordom :p

In essence, to solve my problems; to grow.

And of course to help. In fact, I had planned to leave after 1 month but I found a thread that was incredibly easy to answer...then another one...then another one. And before I knew it, I was posting daily.

But I realize now why I've been here all along. It settles on my mind with more and more frequency. I don't know what the solution is.

It has, in previous times, filled the void left in me when I was friendless. It's habitual, I don't know what I'd do with my time if I didn't ever come here. I learn a lot here about myself because it makes me think, it provides a structured way for me to be introspective. I learn about other people too. If I can help people then that's just the best thing, even though it's a difficult thing. There are a lot of good people here, who I like and would miss.

It allows me to express myself in ways I can't express myself in real life because of my social anxiety and speech impediment.

It started off as a website i stumbled across at work.

I'm actually liking it here.

I like the people here. Other than that I dont really know.

To try to take over ze world. Mwahahahshsba

Eh... Information i guess. This place is like a human database of thought and expression. I can learn and i can teach. I can gain perspective and reaffirm values. It balances my superego.

I'm also interested in how i am perceived by others. One day I would like to ask that in a post, just to see the general impression people get from the expression of myself. I wish there was some sort of feature on here that would allow us to communicate our opinions of one another. I know it sometimes happens randomly, but i would like a collection of others' thoughts on myself.

To get entertained.

To waste time.

All of those things you listed except, perhaps, the trolling and hurting others. I try not to do those.

this website is cool cause sometimes you feel alone in the world when you have a weird pet peeve, or attraction to something, or just one of your "things that you do" it's a good place to express yourself. the world is full of mean people but its nice to focus on the ones who aren't.

I actually don't know. My intelligence grew greatly from my previous level due to my time on here. I will always respect this site for that.

Although, I think the way I think is not suited on here. I focus on reason, others focus on reason and morality, most of the time morality wins.

I think it passes the time now.

I've used it before as way of coping with my depression and telling my stories. Now I'm not as depressed I'm using it a bit more now to help people and give my opinion if something they do or if their behavior is normal or abnormal. Most of them are normal but you get some pretty messed up stories on here. Like I once came across a story about someone having sex with his dog and that was just too much. I bet stories like that are just trolling anyway and it's funny to read them.

I really just like laughing at some of the stupidity... Lets be honest, there's is some pretty hilarious stuff here.

I use IIN for a combination of things. To give advice, to amuse myself by reading some of the most silly and outrageous stories/polls posted here, as well as educating myself by learning from other peoples' approach to different topics.

Not really any of your options. I'd love to be able to help people, but I'm not really in a position to tell people what they should do. Mainly because of my age, but also because I don't think it would work.

I'm not entirely sure why I come here. I just like using the site, I guess. Sometimes people here make me laugh, which is always good. Sometimes I get information or learn something new, also good. If I want to socialise, the first place I go is to real life people, not here. Although I do enjoy talking to a few users here, it's not why I'm here. I don't correct people's grammar, for several reasons. I don't troll either (not intentionally anyway) and I would hate to think I've hurt somebody here.

For no reason at all, but I voted to help. I do comment a lot on stories whether my comments are useless or useful, and if someone here asked me to help them, I wouldn't think twice. Aside from commenting, I spend a fair amount of time in the Member Chat just shouting gibberish. So I do socialize here with quite a few people since I've taken some friendships I made here outside of IIN. You have some pretty bad options up there, and it's sad that some people use the site to practice them.

On another note, correcting people's grammar is one of the most useless things I've seen people do.

To other, of course.

All of the above
