I think (all sarcasm and humor aside) that I have an easier time online, because there are less formalities that have to be dealt with. I don’t have to figure out when it’s appropriate to talk, when I should be quiet, when I should speak up. All the rigid unspoken rules make for very uncomfortable conversations that leave me feeling plastic and empty. Somehow, what’s in my head doesn’t really match up with what I say. By the time it does, the conversation has moved on to something else. Online however, I don’t face this. My fingers just hit the keyboard, and I type what I’m thinking. Then comes the best part. I can check everything I write before I send it, to make sure it’s ok.
