Why is this technology an anathema to me?

I promised myself I wouldn't forget that meeting people online is a curse.
I swore I'd always remember that people show their best side and leave the rest for the offline occasions.
But then you find someone interesting as hell, and talk to them for a million hours, you can't help but think of them for the rest of the day.
It's like when you stare at a light bulb and that spot remains for a while, what can you do? It won't leave your eyes even if you shut your eyes or look at other things. Now imagine looking at the bulb every day, each day a little longer.
If only you knew it's slowly making you go blind...
