Talking to a bunch of people you don't really know and sharing things with them. She's does, however, spend a lot of time on Instagram. That said, she knows, and when she gets down on herself for not being a good cook it, oddly enough, cheers her up. And yet, we may know each other on here more than quite a few people we hang out with IRL. 1 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

Gfted1 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Hmm. We know what we want each other to know. We are whoever we say we are. We do whatever we say we do. Even our names are made up. None of those things are true with irl friends. For me anyway, I almost never share anything personal or of actual importance with this board.

melkathi Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 So if we are all alt accounts of the same user, but Gfted1 doesn't know us as well as the people he knows offline, does that mean he doesn't know himself? 3 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

LadyCrimson Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 if my life was (a lot) more interesting I probably wouldn't be on forums. Case in point: I'm bored again. A couple weeks ago I was re-reading some fave books and I could really use some new ones but I still don't really want to buy e-books, and even places like Barnes N Nobles seem pretty lackluster for browsing shelves when you have zero clue/idea what you're looking for anymore. Maybe I should be looking in non-fiction now instead. “Things are as they are.

I suppose, people carefully choose the information to share, regardless of the medium, be it online forums or meatspace. I think, I've successfully adapted to the quarantine, as I fell asleep at work and reached my normal level of exhaustion and apathy. My clients became more active, so I had to work slightly longer than I expected, which made up for the time I slept. Today I've completed a body-weight workout (pushups, leg raises, crunches, squats, lounges, calf raises) and attempted drawing, which reminded me why I mostly do B&W sketches (might be NSFW).
