So I wanted to talk about an anomaly I found about myself. If you know me personally, it means you have spent a considerable amount of time around me. Why? Well because I am not a particularly loud person I am usually quiet and reserved, not quite shy, but untalkative. That is until you get to know me. Now I know thats not all that unusual a lot of people are like me. The weird part is when I write, in person, while I do have my own opinions and views I don't voice them all that often. In writing however (and I'm assuming this isn't the first of my posts your reading) I speak openly and loudly about my views. Some will say its because I can hide behind a computer and not face any real opposition, but I don't feel like thats the case. I invite people to comment, challenging my opinions or agreeing with them. Plus with the internet being literally everywhere, and more and more people being online nearly 24/7 I feel like the possibility for me to meet harsh opposition is more likely than in a more personal and offline forum. I don't really have any answers as to why I am such a seemingly different person in my writing. I do have a few theories one of which is that I prefer to think about a given situation and form my words and opinions in a coherent manor before releasing them to the world. I would make a terrible debater. So what do you think? Why am I more vocal in my writing than in person? Also let me know how you think I'm doing with this whole writing thing. Do you like it, do you hate it? Am I good, am I mediocre, do I down right suck at it? Comment! Lets start a dialogue!
Thinking about your quirks, figure out if their and asset or a hinderance.
