Socially weird

Danny051

Hi, just wonder does anyone feel the way I do? I act differently around diffrent people and don't really know how to act myself... I know who I am but can never really get it across to new people that I meet. This has made me feel so down over the past few years especially since Facebook came along! People may have liked who I was when I was with them face to face but hated the way I acted around others on Facebook because like I said it's like my personality changes to b around diffrent people! Anyone have any thoughts on this I'd appreciate it!

Can you give us some examples? I think a lot of people act like absolute tools on Facebook in a desperate bid for oneupmanship and in the vein hope that their lives might actually appear interesting to other people. It's all a facade really. Is that how you act? If so then I'd advise you to extricate yourself from social networking sites if they are causing you distress.

Seems to be underlying issues of insecurity and a lack of confidence coming through from your post.

If you were happy in your own skin, there would be no need to behave differently around different people.

You should just be yourself so people know where they stand with you. People are generally distrusting of Jeckyll and Hyde or chameleon type personalities.

And as Merkin said FB is just a facade and not reality and really you shouldn't be basing your personality around how you should appear on social networks

Hiya I would find myself acting differently around different people, though I am quite happy with it. It can range from how comfortable I feel with the person/group and themselves. I do try to act sensibly with all of them though, there are none that I turn into an @rsehole for. I just accept that I cannot be the same person with all people.
If facebook is causing you an issue, disengage from it. You should only include it in your life if it is a positive thing, not something that causes you stress.

Hey Danny051,

We all act differently around different people without even knowing it. Its our way of adjusting towards who it is you are talking to.
It just seems your adjusting to it, that before you were just you, now your seeing its actually a skill that people acquire.

Facebook is nonsense. No one really cares how you act online, as they themselves act differently. If your not a dick in the real world, then dont be a dick on facebook.

Like I said, everyones personality changes in that way. Your going to be more respectful to say older people but your still going to laugh about fart jokes with your friends.

Find the balance and enjoy!!
