Dawn7z: I can relate to you. Still being a relatively shy woman and it never going away I do try to put on an outgoing face for waiting tables and being in that type of job has been good for me. Yet that reserve comes across to others and they think I am not a warm person at times which is not the truth. Can't totally get rid of the dang shyness although I have tried. lol You and I both have moxie though because you have to to get out there and deal with people especially when it comes to their food lol.
You don't come across shy on the forums and are quite articulate I enjoy reading what you have to say and your openess.
Your comment made me think... and I realized that I am the same on the forums. It´s easy for me to have a conversation about a topic and l like good debates... but the small talk, chatty stuff I´m really useless at.
It´s not very often I post on those threads unless I see people that I know fairly well and then I can get a bit silly and have some fun. So I imagine that there a quite a few people who think I´m not very friendly.

I was referring to that fact that in person I can seem rather reserved. You are quite an interesting woman and have got out there and lived whoo hooo. We all connect with certain people and that's cool. Being teachable and realizing that we can learn more and reach out to others out there is a great asset though.

Have to run... have a baby shower to go to... I look forward to getting to know you better Dawn.

I can relate...get me on a subject and I can talk all day...you want small talk and chit chat forget it...so you're not the only one darlin...I'm no good at it either....never have been...
I'm really not sure what each one thinks of me. I have gotten some good friends on here. I try to be nice to everyone & converse with everyone. I'm not one to step on others' feet, so if I have, please let me apologize! Hope y'all like me. But if not, I don't know what to tell ya!

Oh what's not to like doll...You're a very likable person....
As for me....I'm just me...so it doesn't matter who does or doesn't....I will certainly continue to be me regardless!!!!!
stefonline: Really dont care what people think about me.....I'm not here to impress....just being me...
Quite right darling....I dont give a damn what people think of me...I am not here either to impress or prove anything to no one.....I always stay myself no matter what...
How or what's new????
My advice....dont stress on it...they dont feed you and they dont mind you....
kidatheart: It makes no difference to me on or offline, they're all real people. Yes we all have lives away from the computer, but that doesn't mean the people simply disappear from my thoughts. Some of the people I've met here have become a part of my life and not only the one's I've met in person.
This isn't a video game where you hit the off sitch and it's all over until the next time. There are real people on the other end with real feelings.
I don't know what most people think about me and it's pretty much irrelevent, but there are quite a few that I do care about and I do care what they think about me.
Yes that's true...we're all real...and yes I certainly care what my friends think...but I try to be just as good a friend so that doesn't become an issue and I already know they like me for me and I them for them....we wouldn't be friends to begin with!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. What I meant was, just as I try to separate work from my personal life, I also try to separate my internet issues from my day-to-day issues. If I go into a thread that might work on me, I have the choice to carry along in it or just click out of it. That's the beauty of the cyber world. Yes, I've met a few people on this & other forums who I carry into my personal life. But I have to put other things into perspective & prioritize based upon importance to me.
Please forgive me if I sounded like I don't believe y'all are real people. Of course I know you are!

You didn't offend me, sorry if it looked that way.
