It's so easy, in an online environment, to start telling ourselves stories about the people with whom we're interacting.
Actually, I think it's almost impossible NOT to do that.
The connections we make with those we "click" with can be as real as any other.
But the thing is, we don't REALLY know each other. And the stories we tell ourselves can lead us to make assumptions about others, and that often leads to wanting to make those people act in the way we want them to, in relation to ourselves.
Was that too grammatically dense? Does anybody get what I'm trying to say?
I love SO many people on here. And I love it here, period. And I won't claim to be consistent all the time, because I'm moody as hell.
Hell, as you know, is notoriously moody.
I can't be fit into someone's idea of what I am...I mean, I can't fit into the stories; nor can anyone else. And I get a bit resentful of it.
Hence, if I have hurt any feelings, I apologize. But I yam Popeye, yo, and I can't be naught but me, moods and all.
Bet most could say the same.
