How you ever been so absored in a discussion?

Sometimes...

....do you ever get so engaged in an online discussion about a topic, you hit the refresh button every three minutes to see if someone replied?

...You don't want to stray too far away from your pc or tablet in case you miss something juicy, even though it'll be there as long as the servers are up?

...Instead of a sentence, you end up writing a novel of all your thoughts in a post about that subject because you can't get enough of it?

Yet sadly, sometimes that subject doesn't interest a whole lot of people besides yourself, Tanaka, Tonky and Wonky. Between the four of you, unless a serious debate breaks out, probably won't be moving a thread along as fast as you'd like.

...But when the conversations do move along fast and furious, you neglect to do some chores and put off your daily hobbies (reading, exercise etc.)?

I think I have a serious problem because all this applies to me right now. I need a forum anonymous.

Hardly. The only topics on internet forums I find interesting enough to continuously go back and post in and read what others have to say are Who would win in a fight or best anime. Those are usually entertaining reads

I like debate topics. Its kind of thrilling for me especially for things im passionate about. My face gets all tingly when I know someone replied to me and my heart is like dokidoki. Sometimes I don't want to look because I'm too nervous/excited. Then I have to peel myself away and go draw or something then i forget about forums until i feel like debating again

I wish I could like this. The dokidoki was too funny :).

Yes, this happens to me quite a lot actually. Although I only do so when the discussion honestly matters to me and there aren't any trolls around.

Not really, these days I forget if I even wrote stuff on a thread, even my own threads.

My reflexes must be slowing down as I'm aging. I'll be sure to ask you guys a question when I need an immediate answer.

I feel like eventually I would get bored of it and get back to reality like you. It'd be nice to just post and forget right now. But I'm so obsessed with this new series right now, I just want to know what happens next and discuss every little detail about it.

It depends on the person I am speaking to, as well as the topic.

I compulsively check the Recent Posts when on the forum, but rarely I focus on one conversation only.

I think that having the ability of getting absorbed in discussion is actually a very positive trait...
Discussing is fun, I can symphasize with all the points you mentioned and know them well.

If they're talking about gay anime characters with neon hair, yes quite often.

But for the most part I get distracted.

I'll be in there like swimwear.

Only private conversation

General forum discussion usually isn't that engaging
