  • online/offline relationships.

    I have footprints from around the world. It's kind off weird to think someone out there is reading this with no idea who I am, or what i am, LOL But It is what it is here on Xanga.

    I have been thinking about this a lot. I have no Friends offline that live in my area. It is because they either moved and I am unmotivated to open up to a new relationship. My current relationship with my close familial is taking all my time. If I have time for friends they are in my trusty page on facebook Or here on Xanga, with words and thoughts waiting for me to share, on my own time. It sounds lonely when you think of it but really i don't feel alone. So I guess there cannot be a problem, RIGHT?

    I am a bit of a recluse physically. I rather not see people face to face. LOL Example. I have a facebook friend through my Korean drama club who owns a chain of restaurants. We chat online and on each others walls from time to time. He has a lovely family. Once awhile back I took my family to see his restaurant. He was there and I totally froze then got strangely shy. Well he didn't recognize me and was really busy so I sat and ate my dinner all quiet like and we left. I am so embarrassed I didn't talk to him but I am weird like that. LOL SEE!

    I would like to meet people on Xanga too but am afraid my people paranoia would set in and I would just act so dumb. Maybe someday I will get some braveness. Forgive me if I act weird. Its not you it's me.

    I do have some very close friends online who I have known since my childhood and I know i we saw each other it would be one of those things like you just pick up where you left off last. I just have not seen them in years due to money and time.

    How about you? Do you have a vibrant social life outside of the computer? Or are you like me, waiting to see who posted what next? LOL

  • I have many on line friends too I worked in the public for years and ya know what I sort of enjoy being at home

  • All my friends are pretty much online. I had offline friends, of course, but they turned out not to be the best friends. They weren't really people I could trust.

    It seems that everyone I'd like to hang out with is online. I hope I can meet you someday and I am shy too. I am usually quiet around people I haven't been around very much, or people I don't know. I am trying to change that though.

  • I wouldn't have known that you are sort of shy out in public. You put on a brave face to your sons and I suppose you are a very protective lioness.

    If you do decide to try to push causes, you have to have both an online and offline face. When you study your causes and know  the in's and out's of it all the bravery will come out.

    Knowing people just online is not really knowing people offline. Sometimes it takes baby steps and other times you make the leap of faith.

  • @SisterMae - me too

  • @Shining_Garnet - I wonder iff it was because we were both home-schooled. :)

  • @PPhilip - I am pretty protective. :) Thanks!
