Has Planetcricket changed you?

[Dr. Pepper]

Yeah I agree with you Simbazz. I used to think that being friends with members on forums was just plain weird. PC and other forums has changed my views there. My Cricket knowledge has improved vastly on PC as well. Not just Cricket actually, other things around the world as well.

Not really. The user-base is very multicultural, and I have always lived in a very white area, so I suppose I have learnt a little more about other cultures/religions. However I have always been open-minded, so while my knowledge may have increased my perspective hasn't really changed.

This is pretty much how I feel. Talking to people here and other forums has definitely made me see the world a bit differently and has also made me a bit more aware of others' cultures.

I thought I had worded that poorly at first and that people may think I used to be a giant racist. I wasn't, but I was a lot more ignorant.

Yep agreeing with Usman and Ste as well. I'll even admit I was probably slightly racist when I first started out on PC. Really got shown the error of my ways, especially by people like Suren, Manee and Arslaan. Completely changed my outlook on life, I am definetly no where near as narrow minded as I was before

 

[Will_NA]

Yes, it has. I was 15 when I joined but, due to being on this site, I'm now 17...

But without PC you would still be 17.

 

[Ponting_14]

Yes, of course! Meeting my life partner sid on here has changed me completely.

I've changed since joining PlanetCricket, but PlanetCricket isn't whats changed me. I explain it more in my latest blog message, but my confidence has massively improved. I used to lack serious confidence, found it very hard to talk to new people, to mix with people other than my closest friends, but in the past 2 years I've changed massively. I'd say the biggest change has come in the last 6 months-Year. I think the proof that my confidence has improved was on Saturday night. Went to my mate's sister's 17th Birthday party, knew 4 people there, but by the end of the night was comfortably chatting to everyone, and being myself. It wasn't the alcohol either, as I was as confident in the morning as well. So that part of my personality has come on a long long way.

So yeh, before I go off on a rant about myself I better tail it off here, and finish off by reiterating my first point. I have changed as a person since joining Planet Cricket, but it's not PlanetCricket that has changed me.

The only thing its changed my view on is that you can infact make friends with online people.

There are some people, who im not going to name personally, that i'd like to keep in contact with for many years to come.

I used to think I would never make online friends, sadly I havn't made any true friends through PlanetCricket which is a shame. But have I changed because of PC? No. I've grown into the same person I was from when I was young, it's just how I am.

However this isn't related to PlanetCricket but I have made friends and I mean real life friends through playing Counterstrike competitivly, as nerdy as it sounds I'm pretty good friends with the guys on my team. Luckily for me I ended up with people my age and people who live a bus journey away.

Yes, of course! Meeting my life partner sid on here has changed me completely.

shhhhhhhhhhh. Dont spill the beans

As per question. I dont change for anyone and noone can change me. Not a stupid addictive thing as forum.

 

[Sureshot]

Not in the slightest.

I've noticed a change in you, that's probably down to your daughter though. I don't think we can take credit for that...or can we?

Nah, that change was well and truely down to my daughter and the deaths of a few of my friends.

But having said that, it is quite amazing that a person I've never physically met can notice a change in me. It's a pretty strange world we live in now.

 

[Simbazz]

Its all this cyber-y crap which we now live in.

I enjoy knowing people such as yourself Jordan, as you're down to earth and enjoy mixing in with everybody, and the person you are now you should be proud of!
