I can see that is a real positive and could really help develop confidence in ommunication. <BR/><BR/>Also the fact we get to meet and talk to people we would never meet in our everyday lives. Both really good points.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for adding to the thoughts on this subject and I am glad you came by :-)Susannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09581993763700327953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814925655897636772.post-52262035903005762642009-04-07T11:08:00.000+01:002009-04-07T11:08:00.000+01:00i find it quite easier communicating online. the r...i find it quite easier communicating online. the real "me" comes out pretty well, when i'm talking with someone online.<BR/>i'm basically a shy person and at times i can feel a bit of discomfort during a face to face communication. of course i make the necessary adjustments but i can express myself in a better while being online or by written communication. <BR/>i would also say that online communication has helped me to quite an extent to come out of my shell. i got to know some really nice people due to online communication and had it not been the internet i would have never been able to know such people.Saif Farooqihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497624491219843716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814925655897636772.post-77220686334774753182009-03-29T00:29:00.000+00:002009-03-29T00:29:00.000+00:00"So is your online 'style' an accurat..."So is your online 'style' an accurate representation of your personality? do you want it to be? or does the 'mask' that the medium allows help in communication?" I, too, have worked at this, & I also rely on imagery to add emotion to my writing. For me, it has boiled down to trying very hard for clarity, since it's so easy to misconstrue something online. My feelings have been hurt by people who were just teasing me, but as I couldn't hear or see them, I took what they wrote to be sincere. I am quite serious much of the time, so perhaps that is easier to portray online. To display a lighter side I may use a photo with a Tweet. For example, instead of doing the #followfriday thing, I offer a pic of ducks following their mom or geese in formation. Humor is tricky tho--there is such a range of what people find funny. What an excellent topic for exploration!Orianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09758156896872729712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814925655897636772.post-44664167604985415272009-03-09T16:34:00.000+00:002009-03-09T16:34:00.000+00:00Thanks for your comment.
