Why do people choose virtual relationships over real ones?

Reasons: 1. Insecurity, low self-esteem, fear of rejection. 2. Shyness, communication problems. 3. Desire to solve self-realization issues and boost self-esteem by creating an ideal online persona. 4. The opportunity to satisfy sexual needs that cannot be fulfilled in real life (for example, due to physical flaws or shyness). 5. Desire to fulfill sexual fantasies that society condemns.
