LJ Idol: What they say about me

[unsold_capacity]

What do people say about me?

I have no fucking clue. Despite the fact that I can read people very well, have a solid grasp on who I think I am, and am an enthusiastic Psychology major, I have a very limited idea of how others view me

I have not made many comments to your entries in the past. Not because I have not read them. Not because I didn't like them. But I don't know why. But this entry touched me. I thought it was honest and showed a part of you that I have not seen in your writing before. Nice job.

Great entry. One of your best so far, and one of the better ones this week.

Suzi, I won't go into it, but we have a lot of similarities.

I've gotten inklings of that ever since we became LJ friends, I think. But we're so different in person that it seems very strange and somehow untrue. I'm glad you see it, too :)

I discovered several years ago that I like myself better online than in real life, because I have more control over what I'm doing, and how people see me.

I have loved pretty much everything you have written, but WOW that line above...

That is honest, you know?

I try so hard at being "me" online - the same person that you would meet at the coffee shop for instance - and erase the filters that I think the medium introduces.

I am in awe of someone who actively uses the medium to become more themselves, and to lose the physical self they, for lack of a better phrase, no longer fit.

Wow, Spydie, thank you. I think a lot of why I think that way is because I became a heavy internet user (sounds like drugs eh?) when I was 11 or 12 years old, and as a homeschooler it was a big part of my life and how I grew into myself. While I feel like I'm the same person in real life and online, I'm afraid other people don't see the same thing.

Oh, Christ. You're, like,...me. An alternate reality me, or something. I don't know. I'M FREAKED OUT!
