Appearing Offline

In certain programmes, we may choose to appear offline in order to avoid annoyance, or simply for the sake of doing it. Perhaps this so called service too can be used in running away from the truth, things which we do not wish to come across with, or choose not to believe in. Appearing offline somehow works as a barrier, in between the path to solutions and us. Apparently, it works on most people, to hide in their very own world and not being disturbed, allowing only the people whom they wish to speak to dropping by. However, does not matter how wonderful and magical it seems, there are differences in between those who are not online and those who are appearing to be. And certainly, there are people who can differentiate them, for sure. One once told, appearing offline is to give less attention to certain people, and able to 'spy' on that particular person. Come to think of it, aren't those the signs of running away from problems? To not letting them get into us, to not speaking up of how we feel and what we want from a person? Hoping the problems will be gone somehow? How long can we last? By doing so?
