From the time I was a child I never tried to impress anyone.Never worried if I was popular,never chose to be part of the incrowd or showed hate for anyone.I act on this site the same as I do in real time.
Interesting psychological topic actually.. as we are all here from different countries, different traditions etc.. We can be from different countries but we can have same likes and dislikes - they are international/universal... Am Russian born, lived in South Africa for half of my life, I can't represent my birth country, while my country of living for my past 25 years - I can't really represent fully as well.. I think on CS we better present ourselves, who we are, what we are, what our interests are, what our true intentions are.

Hi there. Nice to meet you. 25 years is a long time to get to know the people in your adopted country. Do you find them inherently much different to Russian people?
I don't represent anybody but myself......I don't preplan anything about how to act or behave.....I choose to be.....I don't know how to say it any clearer than that......

I am 100% myself. This isnt UN summit where people present their nations. I am not a patriotic. Dont care to impress sure is just nature not all can cope. I can be diplomatic, Pacific or warrior all depends on subject .....

That is the ideal, but how often does it happen? Most people want to be, or be and like, someone else!
So being yourself, is a miracle, that hardly ever comes true!!!!!
