People make people be that way, not life.
The thing is, in my experience, the more you let people into your true emotional and mental state, the more they judge and resent you for spoiling their news feed. The more they block updates from you. The more they groan when they see you're online again.
It's easier for people to get fed up with you when they haven't walked a mile in your shoes, or alongside you.
People judge and criticize what they don't understand.
Which I suppose is a step up from burning and murdering people that were misunderstood.
And that's the thing about online personas. You can be anything or anyone you want, so you can pretend to be happy, but after a while even that gets too much. I don't actually post on my fb much anymore because 99% of it would be negative or complaints. It's much easier for me to cope by leaving them the impression I'm just too busy to post progress, than to say how I feel and get bombarded by questions and/or advice. I'd rather get on with it and deal than to have evidence to scroll back through. You try forget the bad times, so why memorise it in cyber space?
Albeit, forums are different to youtube to fb and such.
I totally agree with you.
Tbh, that's why I'm not posting much lately.
I can pretty much imagine when I go on a rant about my father, someone will be thinking, "you choose to be there, put up and shut up" (or something like that). When that's not the case at all (there is only one place I can go and, that's out on the streets, which isn't going to happen).
Also, you've reminded me of a Duran Duran lyric (which I find very true), "you can't laugh all the time".
My Auntie has a FB account, so if she reads my updates, she now knows how much of a pain in the butt my father is (although she's never said anything).
CT: Well, it's too late to do anything about it now. The item is on it's way...
Oh well, back to rendering. Hopefully Daz Studio will work on the new set up.
