Isnt it a bit weird??

[i]I have experienced this kind of scenario before but, it was at another site when I wasn't yet an active member here in myLot. It was during my dA days when submitting art works would get you comments about how they would fair on other member's point of view, be it straight forward or not, mention something related to the work which would often lead to other discussions due to continuous replies. They would often grant you compliments but, there are also critiques which I am also thankful for. Well, in that site, I often had exchanges with a particular member, be it in journals or submissions of work. She gave me that kind of impression that I was younger than her due to her replies or responses having equivocality. My mental image of her was someone who would have her hair tied to either a bun or in a ponytail, perhaps with glasses and would seem like that type that you can expect at office settings. Yet, that image that I thought of her didn't comply to most of the photos I saw of her when I eventually went to her profile just to thank her for adding me among her list of friends. Not only the image but, as I skimmed through her profile page, I found out that I was rather older than her. However, even though that image that I have established to associate her with was totally debunked, I still interacted the same way. [/i] It just goes to show that with different people that we meet, be it in real life or even through the net, we tend to have different personalities that we portray to particular individuals that we come along by. I mean, even I know that I tend to act differently depending on the group of people that I'm with at a particular situation.

bj I quite agree with you. the whole world of internet is so dubious and full of fake identities and falsehood that we are hesitant to believe in and give in. So, even when someone is truthful we start to doubt his dispositions. I remember, once I had friendship with a girl from other country who was very sweet and bubbly. She was spirited and full of life. I thought she was about in post teens. But to my surprise I found out tat she was about 40! But then it was me to blame only. It was my mis perception for she never told that she was younger. I never asked. As for myself I am mostly truthful and whatever I decide to confide I tell it true and if not I ignore the topic. I think its better to not to tell than to tell a lie. And dear, the photos which I have posted are mine, truly mine. lol....

I always imagine people to look exactly like their avatars. That's why when they change avatars, it's like they've had major plastic surgery - like in the soaps where people turn into completely different actors. Seriously, I often feel quite shy meeting someone face to face even if I know them very well over the phone. I always have a mental image, and it's always wrong.

Yes, I do wonder how my friends here in mylot look likes but I try to figure it out through responses/post or messages. But I cannot say exactly what they are, It's all about the comments that they give to me that I made out a basis of figuring the personality. It's enjoyable right? I even keep a journal for those which really attracts my attention.

Hello , I always wonder sometimes what mylot friends look like . I like when there are pics , because then you can put a face with them . I think it has alot to do with trust here on the lot . There are more people on here that do have pics of who they are , and just not as a icon . You know when I first joined I had a butterfly picture , and now I like to switch it up .

I haven't had this happen yet but I do wonder what some people look like. I don't think it would change the way I acted towards them because I treat people all pretty much the same as they treat me. I'm pretty simple that way. You'll adjust to the new look and all will go back to normal.
