Being shy in real life, or being outgoing in the chair or online.

Surprisingly, I’m a shy person, lacking self-confidence. Ohh I’ve learned over the years to hide it half decently to those who know me only casually, or not at all. Still, it just doesn’t come naturally. Then I get online and all hell breaks loose, and I’m a totaly different person. Just so easy going and all… Same thing in the chair.

Looks like I’m not the only one either. A friend of mine accross the big pond spent the Fourth of July celebrations in the park, as a wheeler, in the crowds. She tells me she *hates* crowds… And yet she had the time of her life, was outgoing and friendly and chatting with everyone. The feeling of party in the air surely counts for something, and being relaxed and wheeling makes up for the rest, which is most of it.

Why is it that way? Errrm, no clue. Actually, I do have a couple idea, not for here not for now…
