I consider myself to be pretty comfortable on the web, yet on Chat Roulette I acted like a deer in the headlights. My general pattern was to click next, look at the person, and immediately click next again. I wasn’t doing it because I thought they were unattractive or to be mean- I was just really creeped out! While I was curious about what Chat Roulette would be like, I was also very aware of its reputation. I didn’t trust any of the strangers I was matched with and felt too awkward trying to have a conversation. I don’t see myself becoming an avid Chat Roulette user since I do find it creepy, but I also kind of find it fun. I like seeing what types of people are logged on- even though I count as one of those people.
