You guys know the most about me. My family doesn't really know who I am due to the fact that I'm sure they'll just call me weird and move on with their lives. I'm almost positive they don't care anyways. My friend(I only have one irl) knows half of who I am but she sees the b----y side of me. But you guys!... You are unfortunate enough to know about 3/4 of the real me... XD Does anyone else hide who they are and don't let anybody fully know who you are?
-
of course.
-
I do.

Wow, i feel so blessed XD. What about the other 1/4? O.o will we get to know that side? I think im awesome enough to know, dont you? (Lol, jk, i dont know if im awesome or not XP)
And somewhat. I mean, my family knows the 1/2 of me thats all good and s---. My friends irl know about 7/8 of me, the only part they dont know is the very weird and random part. Then you guys have the honor of knowing about 15/16 of me. Yes, you almost completely know me XD -
I too have noticed this with myself.
I think it's something about the confidence the internet gives, as opposed to real life.On the internet, if you screw up,all you have to do is delete your post,or if it's big, make a new account.There's something in that thought,even though I haven't ever needed to,that gives me the confidence to speak my mind.In real life,if you screw up, there's always the chance people will remember it, and you can't change how your face looks to make them forget it was you.Online,you can be whoever you want,being friends with so many people that think you're clever and interesting to talk to,while in life,you barley have any friends, and don't have the confidence to say what you want,which gives you those friends you have on the internet.
This may only apply to me,as I am extremly careful when it comes to people,and my brain says "If you screw up,it might change the thoughts about you that these people so that they think negitive of you".I know this is silly,but so is being afraid of the dark.You know there is nothing there,but your mind still says "What if?"
Also,there's the thing about thinking about what you say.I can think of something that takes me two minutes to plan what I want to say,because it's natural on the internet.Just this one sentence,I probably took about 30 seconds to start it,and could take 5 seconds to think about something if I got stuck thinking.You don't have time to think about something in real life.
During real life,I can't really make any dramatic changes.I can only change a little,because there's that irrational fear.I keep my mouth shut,don't let anyone see what I do on the internet,and don't even watch TV in front of other people, especially my family.
I could go on and on about this subject,and probably already have. But it's the internet,which makes it easier to talk,and there's nobody to inturrupt me,and that gives me the confidence to post this.
I wish I had this confidence in real life... -
I try to share things with people, but no one's ever really given a f--- so I just shut up and move on. xP

Sharing is caring

I like to keep people at a distance, I'm kind of afraid of being judged. Usually I'm the first one to make fun of myself. I do that because I guess I think other people won't mock me if I'm willing to do it myself. I also feed off the pity of others, so I use self-deprication to illicit sympathy in others. But I have to keep a safe distance. If people really got to know me, they'd figure I'm not a sympathetic figure, I'm really just a b------.

Nuna- is that why my family gave me their sickness?
