TopAbstractThe aim of this study was to discuss how young people in Sweden relate to the Internet trying to picture how they developed and maintained relations online. The study revolves around the notion of self-feeling holding a few basic questions at the stake; how much time do young people spend online and in what different contexts? How does interaction take place in online communities and how is self-feeling constructed? The study takes on a sociological perspective on online interaction and leans on an interpretive approach represented by Charles Cooley. The study is based on eleven qualitative semi-structured interviews with eleven Swedish young people made on the Internet in 2009. The results of the study point out that an excessive amount of time was spent by the interviewees interacting in minor online communities and services. The character of communication was mainly personal and intimate. Analyses make visible three aspects of why spending time online; to prevent loneliness, to create opportunities of inclusiveness and to avoid exclusion. Finally, the study discusses the construction of self-feeling as part of a socialisation process taking place in contemporary digital neighbourhoods.
