So you shared your face with us, but what makes you YOU?

[zina10]

We shared pictures to put faces with who we talk to, but what about personality ? What makes you YOU ?

Oftentimes people on the internet come across differently then who they really are. Sometimes on purpose, but sometimes because the anonymity brings out certain parts of the personality more then others.

In the real world, I'm quite a shy person. I'm not a social butterfly at all. I'm a introvert, always have been.
I am socially awkward and sometimes anxious (since before it has been a "thing"). I have gotten better at hiding it, but it is what it is. I'm the person that is ready to go home after a couple of hours at a get together. The only way I can hang out and have a lot of fun with others, is when it is with people I know or trust. Some I can trust almost immediately, its sort of a gut feeling. Some, I never do.

I'm the one that hated school years. The social part about it. I wasn't popular. I got teased a lot, because as a late bloomer I looked more like a skinny boy and curves were nowhere to be found.

Like so many animal lovers, I prefer their company over some humans. While I love my family and have a number of GOOD friends, I keep the circle small.

I'm the kind of person that doesn't mind spending time alone, as a matter of fact, if I don't get some alone time every so often, I get downright grumpy. I'm a independent spirit.

While I have faith, I don't believe in religion. Or persecution. There is enough true evil in the world, why do so many religious people have to persecute innocent people simply based on whom they decide to love ? I don't believe that is what makes a good christian or a good person. Just try to be good and do good, whenever you can. My faith is private and personal, I do not have to be in a church to practice it.

I'm outdoor and nature loving. A dramatic sunset is one of the most beautiful things there are to look at. So much beauty out there. I love practical presents over things such as jewelry, purses or designer clothes. Not very girly girly, I'm afraid

The internet, forums and social media is a good way to socialize and talk to people in a "safe" way. As in, you can walk away, turn it on, turn it off. For people with social anxieties, this is a good thing.

I might come across quite different then I am. I don't let many people "in" and there are things I do not share with anyone at all. And never will. As is, I've shared more right here then I ever have "online". This proves just how much I find this forum different from many others. I know its still "the internet", but this place and most people that frequent it feels almost like a home. The good and bad of "family". (mostly good, lol..)

What is the most important thing to me in my life ? That would be my daughter.

So who are You ??
