I think it is interesting that there are people that have a different internet persona, like folks that are very shy but behind a screen are robust. Can't relate. I am as socially limited here as in real life - just don't have an interest in talking with lots of people. It is terrible for social media purposes, but I can't fake it. So in answer to your questions up there, I engage with people that I stumble across that are either amusing to talk to, or I feel a common thread, bonus if both. And yes, absolutely I feel a connection to some people here - the common thread people. Like finds like.
I agree. I have mates to do sensitive jobs so they appear to be different people on the interwebs but for those that know them it's clear they are being themselves, just filtering it somewhat. Having said this, most that do those roles aren't on social media as they see it as a waste of time, as do I.
Me too, although maybe a little differently. I am selective with people in the offline world and don't put myself out there much. I'm shy in real life although I suppose people don't see that. Their perceptions are often the reverse. Those who know me know I'm shy though, it's glaringly obvious.
It's like you're in my head Ginny. I mean, you very well could be because there's plenty of room in there. That little peanut-shaped brain of mine only takes up a small portion of room, barely a smidgeon, so if you were in there, you'd be livin' large like a celebrity or an oligarch.
I don't buy that for a minute :)
Just echoes Ginny.
