I just went online, and a message popped up in the QQ dialog box: "Haven't seen you online for half a year?" It was a college classmate of mine. I typed a line: "Actually, I'm online every day, just invisible."

很快, QQ上一个灰色的头像就动了起来,原来我这个同学也在隐身,他说: "其实也没有什么事."然后他的头像继续灰色,我们谁也没有继续聊天,就这样归于沉默.

Soon, a gray avatar on QQ started moving. It turned out my classmate was also invisible. He said, "Actually, there's nothing really." Then his avatar went back to gray, and neither of us continued chatting, just falling into silence.

When I first got QQ, I would, in the library, internet cafes, and any place where I could go online, the first thing I did was go on QQ, then let that penguin avatar hang in the top right corner of the computer.很快,好友名单中的头像就次第亮了起来,唧唧地叫个不停. But that was a long time ago. Back then, surfing the internet basically meant chatting on QQ. Whether it was familiar friends or strangers, we would chat about useful or useless nonsense.

Now I hang on QQ every day. There are dozens of friends in it, all my classmates and friends. But most of the time, their avatars are gray. Occasionally, I just type a few words, and there's an immediate response on the other end. It turns out almost everyone is online, but they all unconsciously choose to be invisible.

I once asked a friend why he was always invisible. The friend淡淡地 replied, "No words to say." Yeah, what to say? Everyone has been working for many years. They don't like to show off or complain like when they first started working. Time is like a cocoon, thickly wrapping the heart. We've gotten used to not easily opening our hearts to others, whether it's happiness or depression. Even if we occasionally exchange greetings on QQ, but after the greetings, it's even more silent. If there's something, everyone just makes a phone call and chats directly. Who would type away on the computer for a long time?

Another reason: once you go online, do you not greet those friends whose avatars are lit? QQ isn't like a phone where you answer when there's an incoming call. You clearly see friends and colleagues online, can you not greet them? It's like when we meet on the street and ask "Have you eaten?" Actually, we're busy. Maybe your greeting would make the friend feel you're bored, you're lonely, you need someone to chat and comfort. Messages would pop up one after another, making you deal with them reluctantly. Maybe the friend on the other end is also dealing with it reluctantly. So, just be invisible. That way, we have fewer moral burdens.

More and more people are invisible. Whether you have several QQs or MSNs, many people all choose to be invisible. Many times, QQ has become a tool that's dispensable. We don't expect to get anything from it. On whoever's business card, the QQ number pitifully stays at the bottom.

But no one abandons QQ. Many people's first thing when they go to work is to hang QQ. Our friend list is often gray, but few people delete them. Maybe, we care only about a feeling, a feeling that there are still familiar people in this big city. Staying on QQ, we seem to still be in a warm and familiar group. Although everyone is invisible, we're all paying attention to each other. When you have a need, the online notification from logging in will pop up from the bottom right corner to the top of the screen. In the concrete city, behind the gray QQ avatars, there's still hidden relievable warmth and trust.

Bump it up first. Hehe

There is a method to "monitor" other friends without logging in to QQ:

First, back up your own QQ's user.db file, then apply for a new QQ, log in, and there will be a folder named after the new number on the computer. Replace the new one with the old QQ's user.db, and all your QQ friends will be in the strangers list. The purpose is achieved.

Just hanging around idly.

Hanging the sun? It doesn't seem like there are still people doing it for that now.

Hehe, support a bit, I also often lurk..

I don't often go on QQ, but even when I do, I'm often in invisible mode.

The key is people's habit misunderstandings. It seems that no matter online or in real life, once you meet someone, you have to say something. In fact, for people who are familiar with each other, where can there be so much to talk about? And in the end, it's all nonsense.

That makes sense.

Software timing, disconnect every two hours

This may be related to the way Chinese people conduct themselves, just like some high - level people in ancient times, withdrawing from the rivers and lakes and living in seclusion with a changed name. But still thinking about the things in the rivers and lakes~~~~~~

No translation needed as the text is already in Chinese but the request is to translate from Chinese to English. Wait, no, wait. Wait, the user provided "没空啦,都是如此" which is Chinese. So need to translate it to English. "没空啦" can be "No time anymore" and "都是如此" can be "It's all like this". So the translation is "No time anymore, it's all like this"

Now I rarely hang out on QQ when I'm free, and I feel it's not interesting.

Heheh, I feel the same way too.

Mostly for the purpose of upgrading.

My computer has QQ set to log in automatically, so it doesn't matter if it's there or not
