Can you be controlled through the computer?

Question

I am really scared, someone has just posted a question asking if we want to die tonight. I am scared it is a message for me and if I don't obey they will hurt people I care about. I feel terrified and sick as I know I will be up all night hearing them telling me to do this

Answer 1

Bronx, its not unusual for people to feel this way, but this message was not aimed at you. And no, you cannot be controlled through your computer.
It was written by one of the sick, sad, twisted people that come on here to act out their aggression towards other people. You are not one of those aggressive people which is one reason why this message disturbed you.
I would ask you to phone The Samaritans, there will be someone there at this time of night. Explain what you saw and how it made you feel. They have trained staff on the phone who can support you and give you the information you need.
I think that you would benefit from some counselling to help you understand what you are going through and to know how to deal with it.
The person that posted this doesn't know who you are, this is the same as those nasty chain mail letters that get sent out, and e-mail scams. People send these letters out knowing that someone will read them, and out of all the people that read them a few will respond. But they don't know who those people are.
It was not aimed directly at you. There is no way that the one person who wrote that knows who you are or where you are.

Ordenadores para trabajar o para jugar, simples o muy avanzados, siempre a los mejores precios en los sitios information superhighway, mi viejo ordenador, también comprado en los sitios information superhighway me gustaba mucho pero necesitaba algo más eficiente y más silencioso, el ordenador que compre cumple todas mis expectativas, además de ser muy rápido, con una buena capacidad de almacenaje, es increíblemente silencioso, lo he probado por l. a. noche, en un silencio entire y ni no parecía que estaba funcionando, una excelente compra.

Answer 3

I personally think that's a completely irrational thought, and if you think stuff like that a lot, you should probably go see a psychologist. I'm NOT saying you're crazy, not at all! I'm saying that a psychologist could help you deal with paranoia like this (no offense, but it is paranoia)

Answer 4

Nah, why?? or how?? I didnt read the message but people just like to scare and say stupid things to people in this Forum, they will get theirs anyway

Answer 5

Ignore it. Just delete the message.You cannot be controlled unless you allow yourself to believe what you read and respond to it accordingly,which is what these sick people who write such rubbish get their kicks from !

Answer 6

Please get help. Can you call your doctor or get to the ER? Get someone to take you to the ER. Do you have schizophrenia? I am not trying to be mean. Have you been taking your meds? Please get some follow up care. It is not as bad as it seems. You just need to get some medical attention. Have a family member or friend take you.

Answer 7

No, don't be afraid of death threats through the internet, if they don't make you afraid then it won't work. It's a sick and discusting thing people do.

Answer 8

that is completely irrational thought. You cant be controlled by things like that.
If you feel like this on a regular basis, you should see the doc.

Answer 9

You can only be controlled through the computer if you are addicted to Y!Answers.
