I have often wondered what I would say to people on here if I met them in real life.
The real me is rather quiet (yes honest). I tend to let others talk over me
and hold back from speaking, which isn't actually hard to do in a crowd.
Its amazing how you can be in a crowd of people and never say anything.
Why I do that, I have no idea as I'm not shy. It just seems like everyone wants to
get their word in first and by the time I think of something to say, the subject
has changed and moved on.
The only time I seem to get a word in edgeways is if someone asks me to lead a
bible study. It's strange how the people who have the most to say in real life,
never know what to say when bible study is mentioned. Lol
So if you met me in real life, I would be the one hanging back from all the conversations
looking a bit lost fiddling with my nails or fingers. Its probably why I don't use the chat function
much as well.
I feel that I have got to know several people on here far better, than I have of
my real life friends, who I have known for years! Isn't that rather sad.
Sometimes I think it can be hard to be the real "you" in Christian circles.
Having said that I go to a women's small group (never more than 10 of us at any one time,
sometimes there may just be 5-6) and we are getting better at being who we are.
But even in that group it's easier to be the real you with some people than with others.
As far as meeting people I tend to gravitate towards younger or older people. I don't know
why but I have never felt comfy in my own peer group. Like a fish out of water!
