![]() We would crack jokes and all get a good laugh. ![]() I did find a small group of people that seemed pretty fun to talk to. It is free to play starting out, I figured whats the harm in looking through the rooms in search of people to hang out with. That alone made me want to just uninstall it and chalk it off as a worthless endeavour. The IMVU adventure started off poorly for me since many of the people seemed rude and obnoxious. Before long, I was starring into the abyss and I knew my my family was in jeopardy(I am day one away from IMVU and her, and I am still worried). So I installed it and the adventure begins. I was looking at a list of games that seemed to work in linux under Wine and IMVU was one of them. I bought a game controller that I wanted to play games with in linux. Something happened to me I was not ready for. Ok, I stumbled on to IMVU and only 1 week later, I am in serious trouble. And get my life back.Īnyone who is struggling or has struggled with IMVU themselves is most welcome to message me, I would love to support you as you too begin to see the light ! My aim is to limit the time I log in to IMVU and try to start up some hobbies in the real world. Though going cold turkey on this may not work for me at present. I hope over the next few weeks and months I may be able to tear myself slowly away from your powerful grip, and start to rebuild everything I have lost. Thank you IMVU for wasting over a year of my life. You would never believe the accounts of lives ruined by such an innocuous little " game". However until it has actually happened to you, Get out while you can, while it has not grabbed you by the throat and taken a hold of you.ĭo you really want sleepless nights, illness, boughts of depression, aniety? and to lose your zest for life? I wish someone had warned ME before I ever made an account. ![]() I would recommend this to anyone of you here who are having problems in your real life and seeking IMVU as a form of escape. I did not realise the extent of my problem until reading forums on the OLGA site. Each time, I have not been actively "looking or searching" for such relationships, but as in real life, just by being in a certain place ( chat room ) at a certain time with a random chance meeting, your life can change in the click of a mouse !Īnd don't tell me you can't fall "in love" online, as you CAN, and I have done, and the guilt of knowing I should not have weighs heavy on my mind and heart. How do I know this, it has happened to me on more than one occasion. Where else could I go to meet people who ALSO look like they have stepped out of some movie set or actually right out of my dreams? Nowhere, because it ISN'T real.Įvery relationship made on IMVU is fake, it is an illusion of intimacy nothing more.īut if you find a person whom you click with, and have lots in common with, and actually find yourself getting attracted to, you are on dangerous grounds. Who wouldn't like to look like a supermodel at all times, ( even when they are roughing it in old Pajamas at home? ) There is little or no effort involved in being able to impress others. What is the pull of IMVU? it is many things to many people, and it has varied a lot in the year that I have been a member. My DRUG of choice has been IMVU and it has been a powerful one, and one who's total withdrawl from at the moment seems impossible, but IS possible due all the accounts of recovered addicts on the OLGA website ! This gives me hope. others take drugs or alcohol to momentarily avoid the dullness or loneliness in their lives. Some people "get lost" in a book or a film. It stands to reason how human beings look for forms of escapism, ways to escape the dull drudge that IS real life. And let's face it work for most people is just a means to an end, a way of paying the bills, and not anything that stimulates our senses or we actually enjoy doing ! ![]() If I am not online gaming I feel down and depressed, with a certain emptiness inside, and have had thoughts such as life sucks, and real life is boring.of COURSE real life IS boring, 99% of the time, we wake up we do our daily stuff, revolving around " normal" run of the mill family life, and work. My real relationships have suffered, as has my health. But addicted to IMVU? Ok, hands up, YES I confess I am, and it is to the detriment of my real life. I know I have an addictive personality, this has always been the case, and I throw myself into things with both feet. ( and for the record IMVU is just a game !! as much as it seems so real. I thought that what I was partaking in was for the most part harmless. Until I READ the information on this website about characteristics of addiction to online games & could say YES to almost every question. ![]()
