Sometimes I wonder how much of ourselves that we share...I guess it's
different for everyone.Obviously everyone has different sides to
them...I think it's easy at times to get a picture in our minds of
people,that probably corresponds to some extent with the real person
behind the computer screen,but it's never the whole picture...I just
know that I worry sometimes that people turn me into a one dimensional
cartoon...I guess it's easy to do,but obviously,it's just one part of
a big,complex,story...it's easy to do,due to the nature of the
medium...I also realized that I do it to other people at times.I turn
THEM into one dimensional cartoons,based on things they say here.Of
course there is probably at least some truth to my perceptions,as
there is to everyone's,but I also know,on some level,that there is
more to it then that...I guess it's also very easy to want to present
only certain sides of us.not that we are lying,or pretending,so much
as we want people to like us,so we only share certain facets of our
personalities,and not the other aspects of us...It's very tricky.it's
easy to become a kind of self parody that way...I guess all you can do
is to try to be "yourself" as much as possible,be honest on at least
some levels,and hope that people will be open to us as we reveal more
then a few sides to us...,even sides that are not as likeable,maybe as
other sides...It's strange,I like to think that personality is
fluid,but I guess we do have different aspects to our personalities
that we just have to hope people can accept,understand,and
appreciate.Obviously not everyone can like us,acceot us,understand
us,but maybe if just a few people can,it's a good thing...
