Social networking is a life saver

To akward introverts like me social networking is more that just a portal for potential flirting experience or a pass time or even a photo display society.
            Social networking is to me is rehabilitation, a design which allows me to overcome disabilities like socialanxiety, "social dumbness", social inappropriateness and and be me.
          Extroverted conversations are lovely, I am sure ,but they can be very superficial they are designed for extroverts to thrive, the loudest, the most confident and the word smiths who can can easily describe their thoughts in simple term are the one's who are heared, appreciated and taken seriously. Confidence has been mistaken for intelligence for centuries, for eg the extroverted politicians gets the limelight while the introverted advicers, campaign managers are ignored. But Introverts can be very confident, even the socially anxious can fake it, but they are very less likely to do so, their confidence is not assertive but subtle.
             The social networks not only gives our feeble voices a platform but also helps to see beyond one's physical appearance, I mean the first quality that we notice about a person is usually their appearance ( evolution!!). We don't consider people beautiful, smart or sweet unless they fit in this certain criteria, and is difficult to see beyond it in the real world, but what we do not understand symmetry and muscles and bones structure are not the only faucets of beauty, but social networking actually gives people a chance to see beyond flab, beyond short, the person you are in contact with is the soul not the body, you can get to see the grumpy faced girl is not actually grumpy, the funny boy is actually deep.

I think social networking is a huge boon in other smaller ways too i.e even in other  ways than we already know and is changing the way we communicate for the better.
