Reality and Virtual

Hello!

Talking about personalities in virtual and reality. I find it quite contradicting though for some people.

I have friends who are absorbed into the virtual world and not really expressive in the reality. Sometimes it pisses me off seeing them not being sociable at all. Well, we got to understand that different people could express themselves in different ways.

As for me, i dont know why people find it hard to express themselves in reality but virtually in msn, friendster and facebook, they tend to be more open and friendly. Thanks to technology in this era, many people are able to interpret and express themselves through networking in the virtual world.

As an example, i have a friend who's very quiet in reality(stoner la lol) and he didnt talk much but when hes online, he would express himself in many manners. I would find it ''WOW'' but i would say it can be a bad thing to some people when they dont smile and keep a dull face, it makes them look like they're on drugs or something.

Of course at times, virtually expressed is a good thing than in reality like when we chat with our friends, we can hold them for a long time(not very long la) and we can start to think what to reply but as for reality, if a person who is bad at making jokes and breaking the ice, would make the environment awkward. Get what i mean? its kinda like a 50-50 thing.

Love and relationships now can be expressed through SMS-es,messages or even confessions. See how the world revolves with technology now. Some people like men with high-ego can express and apologize through phone and without even doing the awkward and cute face when apologizing.

Oh well, virtual and reality could actually be good and bad but i think being in reality is the best you can present yourself. The next thing you know, a quiet friend of your whos very expressive in virtual but not in reality is taking up communication courses. Till then, make use of reality and virtual to express yourself in creative manners! :D

Cheers!
