shockedSo here is the thing, I am not what people think. Especially from my blog. I am actually nice and pretty quiet in real life. This surprises people. So I write here to express different thoughts. This is the point of my blog. To be something that I may or may not be. Those who know me in person can only tell. Yet, I have chatted with some people who have obviously read my blog, and they are surprised and shocked. They think I am too open. I am wild and crazy. To their surprise I am pretty naive. Well not extremely naive. I just don’t like discussing certain issues. Or I ignore and I just say I don’t. I always draw the red line, and my red line is pretty short. I have low tolerance to any inappropriate behavior. Also when “guys” see my pictures they are in extreme shock. “This is you. No way. You don’t seem that way from what we have read or thought you would be.” Amazing isn’t it! I do look normal don’t I? Obviously I am not a cyborg or a female robot! And yes, my pictures are not fake. I do look an Arab. A real Arab.

So yeah. Back to the story. So I am the type of person that likes to joke around and have fun. We all do, but I don’t like or tolerate childish behavior. I think some guys seriously don’t appreciate the fact that I am a girl, average looking, and I got some brains. Well more brains than some guys like or even have. Also, if I don’t like something, I just say it. I am pretty patient, but I do tend to flip. Once the red line has been crossed that’s it. Games over. I don’t tolerate it. That’s just the way I am.

Also I am in shock when I read people’s blogs and chat with them. They are completely opposite. Beyond opposite. It’s like the two opposite extremes that you would never thought would coincide. But it does. Why is that? I am not that opposite from what I write. I write what I feel. What I cannot say in real life or just random thoughts that just come up. That’s all. But being completely opposite? Showing the world that they are these great people with great writings, well behaved intellectuals; than when you chat with them they become like the son of Satan. I am using the term son of Satan loosely here, cause at times I think Satan would be afraid of what humans think or say. I have encountered this far too many times from chatting with people from my blog or other blogs. I chatted with girls and guys. The girls freak me out the most. I am in shock when I talk to them. Their angelic writings compared to their real life tone of chat. It’s alarming. People are like that? How fake can you get? Why are you writing and expressing your self in the internet world if it is all a lie? I just don’t get it.

So my suggestion is, stop lying. Be your self. The internet and blog writing can be the place where you can say what you cannot say to others in real life. For others to share something with you or connect to you.

I just don’t like to be shocked anymore. I am getting too old and I may collapse from shock and disbelief from talking to you!

    I totally agree with that. I’m a very quiet, studious, shy, happy-seeming type in real life. However, online, I often seem like a vindictive, judgemental, angry, depressed teenager fed up with school.

    I think you gave a different impression in your video q&a than in you do in writing, btw.

    I can totally relate to what you are saying, and yes- some people write the opposite of who they are.
    It’s unbelievable! And this can be a real shock! I really wonder how can they be a pro in hiding themselves behind a blog that reflects what they are NOT. But the more I think of it, the more i realize that this also can happen in real life. Without even a blog.

    And for the ones who reflect the true them in their blog, this- I consider an accomplishment, cause few people do this to be honest!

    Hey there!
    Very intresting topic! I know exactly what you mean, you read people’s blog and they give you the impression that they are something that they are not and you only figure that out when you talk to them and get to know them and or even worse when you meet them. You totally do not expect them to be in that way but I wouldn’t say its because they are lying and trying to be something that they are not, it could be because they are not able to get thier point clearly or we interpret what we read from thier blogs differently. For example, someone may read my blog and think I am a shy person and someone else may read it and think im an outgoing person. So really to some extent only it depends on how you read other people’s blog. But still there are some ‘chathaabeen’ (lairs - im not sure if you know arabic lol) who try to be opposite what they are. I really think people who are like that are mentally ill, they have an image or idea of what they would like to be but they are not able to achieve it in real life so they use the online world as an alternative.

    Hi DxBrose,

    I know Arabic.. and you are right. It could just be the way we interpret what they write But some of them it is obvious that it is the opposite extreme! :Ouch:
