what you post reflects who you are

Yeah well I think it does reflect who you are. Lately I have been writing too much about love and lyrics of love songs. And to be honest these past few days, I have been reminded of my one sided love, who I never confessed too and it's been killing me inside. I don't know it's been couple of years now and why is he bothering my mind right now!

My posts there are coded rants. I'd post the lyrics of a song which contains some lines about what I'm thinking. Somehow, somebody always seems to get what I mean. So, I guess that would mean that I'm not really a direct person, huh?

I really don't post anything personal on Facebook, I comment a lot on news articles there. Ones that really irritate me. I have my profile so only my friends can see. I post a lot of pictures on there so my family can see what's going on. I don't think that a lot of people can see my profile due to how I have it set up. I only have family and a few friends on it. I don't accept friends requests from people I don't know or I don't want contact with. I would say I'm passionate on there when responding to news articles.

I think maybe in some cases you might get to know a person's personality on here but I think even more you learn who they want to be. People spin things so people perceive them to be a certain image they have of themselves. One could put up two different discussions about the same subject, saying the same thing but how it is written can turn the person it is about from being a saint to needy or evil. It is all in the eye of the beholder. That said someone can take a simple phrase as one thing and the next as something completely something else.

i often post on my wall what i want to say and feel.. it makes me somehow feel relief whenever i feel down..it's my way of letting my emotion go. i agree that sometimes it reflects who you are.. but in other cases it depends.. just like when you are very angry to a person.. and you cannot control yourself anymore and you tend to post an immoral words or insult that person..we cannot tell right away that you are bad.. maybe it is just a result of being so angry that made you do that..

ahahaha agree...nice though but, its not always on facebook...but depend on typical who the person use...my friend always using tumblr to show pictures...about anything...even she upload some pictures when she cries alot--with a lousy reason...she cried alot..then take a snap then upload them...and yes that tumblr linked with her facebook, so not only her friend in tumblr, but her friend in facebook could see it--that she soooooooo sad...eeewwww

I don't really put much on my facebook account like pictures or post because I know they may be people who are not even my friend who can look at my stuff. Like when I was going to add my brothers as my friends when I first signed up (they had signed up first than me), I was able to look at there post and pictures. I just go there to answer my friends messages or chat with them. Maybe I'll comment on there wall but I don't think I'll ever put pictures or say stuff on my wall. Who knows though, maybe I will in the future haha.

Hi emjay! Yes, of course. What we posts reflect who we are. Even those quotes we just copied and pasted in our wall, it still reflects who we are. Posts that came from us definitely reflect who we are because that's what we think, that's how we think, that's what happened to us or happening to us, that's what we've experienced, it's part of who we are. Posts that we just copied somewhere also reflects who we are. It's probably that we liked that quote, we can relate to that quote, we believe in that quote, and that reflects a part of us.

It is a virtually public site. I am very cautious about what I post there because of the access that people have. I guess it is supposed to be personal but I have a hard time being public with my private life. I don't know why really but I tend to be very guarded where facebook is concerned. I work with a lot of people that send friend requests just because they want a peek into your personal life. I am not crazy about that. To be honest..I am hardly ever on there anymore.

Hiya emjay, I use youtube sometimes to convey the way I am feeling more than anything else and I will "like" other People´s comments too but not all the time. But these are People that I already know so they know what I am trying to get across to them. I stay out of any discussions on there too I just put the odd photo on or a youtube video mainly music or an appreciation of someone and that´s it really.xxx

I think what you post in Facebook somehow reflects your personality. In my case, I usually post jokes and funny quotes. My friends know me as a cheerful person. They know that I'm a happy person who loves to make them happy.

I believe so. What you say and are probably the same thing that you will also say anyway in person just that you are posting what your thoughts are.If one person is nonsense on how he post, then more or less he is also like that in person.

Yes, at times my friends say that I am emotional.:) And I definitely agree that our posts reflect who we are.

Yes but it depends day to day and how im feeling during that time

I don’t go to Facebook all that often so I have never posted anything of a real personal nature there. I have done so on My Lot though. I have no idea whether I come across overly emotional; I know I can be when in my offline life sometimes. I think that one can learn a lot about a person by what they post here because for many of us it can be somewhat easier to open up via the written word than the spoken voice.

it could be, but not all the time. some posts are not even true at all.

I seldom post on facebook so i received no comment from my friends. However, I sometimes upload photos whenever I have the chance to take pictures. I think it means that I am not sociable.

This is really true because my bestfriend would usually post everything that she feels on facebook. I was trying to scold her sometimes because I'm seeing some people who bash her and she gets affected by it. And then she asks crying why people control her from expressing herself? I told her that it's okay to express herself since it's her freedom as long as she's not getting affected by people who says something about her. She has been judged of being so emotional too plus she's 25 years old and the world knows everything that happens with her relationship. I don't know, this is just my opinion. Because I value my privacy so much. I post something that I know that I can handle and I want to protect myself from being judged.

my friends are aware that i am emotional too. and i agree too that what you post on facebook describes who you are. why not? it says "what's on your mind?" so what you really post is what you feel or think on that very moment your typing. lately i have not been updating my account so nobody knows now what i am up to.

it all depend on your priorities on how you think and how you think about others some people do just for fun,some people for showcase,for fame,for criticizing.it may partly reflects your thoughts but not 100%.main motto starts to be in network goes till critics, its all web2.0
