Step away from that damn computer, and go outside. It's as simple as that.

While I agree with getting off the damn computer and going outside, I don't agree with saying that internet friends don't do much. I have some very good internet friends, not only from here, but also other places online. They are better friends to me than some of my IRL friends.
Just depends what you are looking for, really. You get what you put into any place you visit, whether it's online or off.

Yeah, that's a strange thing to say. I ended up married to an Internet friend. I have met some Internet friends in the real world. I currently have an awesome Internet friend that I communicate with pretty much every day. They've certainly had a positive impact upon my loneliness and, in fact, my life in general.
Most people watch TV or play a game or something when they're bored... they don't ask women for Youtube music links to workout to and then bombard them with squat videos. Hmmm... maybe I should be charging for this service... kerching.

I did read once that back in the day, the sound of outside rain meant one was presumably inside somewhere and safe from outside predators which might have something to do with it. Who knows really though.

You mean like from a primeval time? My guess is how you link an emotion or memory with it, for example rain and stormy weather is relaxing to me so that would make sense, but a dripping tap is just a defect and always described as an annoyance in movies and cartoons (Erm... not that I actually watch cartoons). Physiologically this could make the difference.
But yeah, you're right. It's all just speculation. lol
