Do you ever notice it's really hard to relate to people, face to face, and a hell of a lot easier to be open and talk about yourself online?
This may be just me. The body's girlfriend knows about Us. And she really tries hard. So do our roommates (friends we really trust). And we really find it hard to identify ourselves or just... BE ourselves around them. We sort of all mash into this certain set of rules when we're physically around people.
Where, at the same time, we talk to them all really freely online, them knowing who exactly they're talking to and we all have really different relationships with them...
Seems like only a couple of us are really comfortable being ourselves around people. And them's the ones that have really influenced life in a very overly noticed way (like the way they dress for example).
I'm told there's a really good reason for this :) Just wondering about how other people felt.
