While I try to be "me" on social media, I suspect more of my weirdness comes through there than in the casual encounters I have with people on a daily basis. It's not that I am actually weirder on social media, only that I'm more openly weird.

Take me for example, I bring a lot of politics to my Facebook page, and my Twitter feed because I feel like I have to be part of what is going on. Otherwise, in person, I tend not to discuss things as much unless I know the person I'm speaking with is like minded, or at least, open minded. I don't really enjoy arguing and I give people the benefit of the doubt even when I don't agree with them...those tend to be, we will have to agree to disagree type endings and we move along from there (I haven't dumped one friend to date over politics). Outside this, I think I'm pretty much the same there as I am in person. There are many many people who aren't. I see a lot of "rosy" lives that I wonder about - how does one go through life without anything the least bit stressful creeping in once in a while? The whole of the sum to me, is all of what a person is about, not just the nice things. :DCDBeeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634419349351127457noreply@blogger.com
