Do you feel that you can be more like yourself in the CS forums then you are in real life? ( Archived) (60)

I am myself on here. Maybe a TINY bit reserved, but in person it is easier to be personable for me... I like to feel somebodies vibe and riff off of it like a guitarist would commit to a solo, except I'm hoping another musician will be wailing on their own set of strings so to speak right back at me!!!! Up close and enjoying company is a riot without looting and violence, of course!!!!

always be yourself no matter where you are.

More like myself? Ermmm.... not sure I'm very different. For one, I'm not a very good actress anyway and, secondly, I can't honestly see the point in projecting a different persona. For me, it seems too much like hard work, I would only be found out in the end and, frankly, I would only be deceiving myself...?? I am a fairly confident person, not much phases me and I am pretty adaptable to most situations. I feel I come across as an ogre at times but I do have my softer side, for sure. Blimey.... that's my raspish image down the tubes...!!

I like a laugh, of course. I am up for a decent debate, I don't suffer fools gladly but, albeit I don't have a gushing huggy-huggy, kissy-kissy approach to anyone's plight (moreover I tend to portray a more pragmatic viewpoint in such instances), I cannot bear to see anyone hurting.... in fact, I am hopeless, and would probably end up in tears myself.

I will accommodate differing views to mine if they are relayed in a civilised and coherent fashion, otherwise I will defend myself against the more malevolent natures than mine, if they are just seeking contention simply to serve their own agenda.

All in all.... yeah, same as in RL.

Of course, you may be meaning "unwittingly" different... in which case, I wouldn't know...??


Good thread, BTW....

I'm the same here as I am out there. I might have to get warmed up to you at a first meeting, but I have multiple personality disorder anyway..........Who knows who you're talking to?





What? What did you say? Stop it...stop talking to me!!!!!

More like myself????

No.

This is the "toned down" version of me.

And it's toned down by people's perception of me ...what they think a rural, 58 year old woman should be.


In real life I'm just a crazy, old ex hippie

Wats that old saying "What you see is what you get"

i'm pretty much myself, i DO kinda feel others don't always get what i'm trying to say... sarcasm or teasing don't really protray themselves well in writing so people often end up thinking that i'm mean or stupid...maybe both

but that's their problem and they should learn to suck it up and deal with it!

I still read the forums..... but I don't post here anymore..... I might, but
at least not on anything that is the least bit controversial. My thought is you can't convey an honest thought, and really be truthful, without making yourself a target.....

Only one other person knows this, but, I dont care anymore...... I used to have a penname online ..... I used it exclusively for the forums, and I was more comfortable with what I would say, because I was anonymous....... There was a shakeup on the site a month and a half ago, and I lost my penname.... and lost access to some pretty good writings, as well as connections here...... After I lost my penname, I wrote with my identity revealed, was alittle too honest with a posting one day, and the end result is my own anonymity.....

I have seen other persons characters assasinated, seen people reveal themselves in a negative manner, i.e. violent tendentencies, only to be welcomed back with forgiveness.... its really unbelievable..............

I decided this is a dating site..... and wishing to share any part of my life for others to ponder and make accusations is no longer desireable, especially when only voicing an opinion, and suddenly finding an assault on your person that is detrimental in the fundemental usage of this site....dating.... There is way too much judgementalism here to be honest in writing, unless of course one really doesn't care.......

I am sorry for the negative tone of this response... but you asked.... to those of you with good intent I apologize for my candor.......

By the way... in case you haven't noticed, and as a warning, especially to the aforementioned, it is now possible to misquote someone by taking something someone else has said, and placing it in a reply as something you yourself said..... I dont know how it is happening... but it is.... so beware....... others can always read what is attributed to you, even if you didn't write it......

I present myself to people on CS what I want them to see. We will never meet so I am here top have fun. I enjoy the banter and I will argue with a lamp post, why?? BECAUSE I CAN

Good question, Acausey07.

I'm more like I would like to be on this site. I'm shy, depressed, anxious, and sometimes panicky. But when I write here, it's easier for me to say what I mean. Still though, I'm overly sensitive and can be run off a site if enough people want me gone.

Thanks for asking this question and allowing me to express these feelings.

Skeptic

could you elaborate a bit more as to that "getting tongue tied" part? why do you thing this happens? I am really curious to it as i have some thoughts of my own that can connect to what you are saying...

Other than that, whenever i have time to log onto this foroums i am behave (verbally at least) in he exact manner i would behave in my real life. Although it does get a bit hard sometimes, especially when it seems a lot easier to "kill" a thread by posting an oppinion rather than just posting irrelevant stuff...

aham, just as i thought...

I am moi...open and honest in my views and thoughts.

Sure it'll polarize, but I'm a strengthening personality...I can deal with that.

Plus!!! It sorts the wheat from the chaff.

(I think!)

what? I am me wherever I am



wherever i go


whatever I do...

To all lwho replied




the op is at childbirth class at the moment she will be back to comment to your replies

this I know...




she hasnt left you all hanging....she did ask me to let everyone know why she disappeared...



If the baby would listen to her nana she would ha


followed the light...by now...

I'm the same here as I am off-line...I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing... BUT I'm always me no matter where I go or what I'm doing...It took me too long to like being me...not to be!!!!!
