I think people think I a tougher than I really am. They think I have no problem with confrontation and that they had better be careful around me. They mostly have this impression because it is how I come across publicly. I don't let people see the vulnerable part of me because I don't want them to know I have one. I go on the theory of carry a big stick and you will never have to use it.
So, when I get my feelings hurt it is really my own fault, but I am very sensitive and my feelings get hurt easily. I guess I expect my friends to know better because I let them see the vulnerable side, but they often even still don't take the time or effort to realize that this vulnerable side is who I really am and not the tough outer shell I present to the world.
Hey, wait.... JB, HELP! Chupo is my husband, not me, Chener, please delete the previous post.... Ho....@#$

I look serious. And I am serious in doing things. But I'm actually very tender hearted when handling people. In other words, I rather not confront people if I don't have to, unless I'm really angry.
To Everybody: This question is about real life, how about on the Internet? Like on this forum, this is also a public place, do people know you as you really are?
[edit]ADMIN: Removed, but please be careful. Also, you can call the moderator (look at the top where it shows the folder tree) of this board to help you not necessary to call me [/edit]
I try on this forum to show the real me. What is the point of discussing things if you aren't going to be honest.
I also try very hard to show people that I respect their right to have a different opinion. Most especially, I try to control my responses because I know that the written word can be very easily misunderstood since there is no tone of voice or inflection in the written word. Smileys do help though.
Thanks a lot, JB. I'll be more careful. I didn't know my husband registered already. This is going to be fun! :
I agree with you, tenaheff. I'm actually an outspoken person but in the real life I'm awefully quiet. Just like you, on the forum, I'm very real. I do find myself saying something too quick and unpolished and got misunderstood at times. It is very frustrating and sometimes made me quit talking.
I try to be myself in the forum, although I admit I'm more energetic, outspoken and moody in real life LOL. Having english as a second language is not that easy also because sometimes I may try to say something and it was misunderstood. I think I speak better than writting. But it doesn't stop me from being me
[offtopic] Chener, is cool that your hubby joined also!. I look forward reading both of your posts in the forum[/offtopic]
I'm much more outspoken on the 'net than in person. Especially if it's a debate or a topic which both parties have very strong feelings about. I have more ability to express myself when I'm writing a response than when I'm speaking. People don't listen to me seriously in person for some reason ??

Angelical?? Who ME? LOL oh that's a good one... But I do have people who tell me that I'm so cheerful all the time that it makes them smile. Maybe I should be a little meaner? At least when i need to get my point across! ;D
