Real people

I grew up obsessing over what people thought about me, and it continued up through college (because let's be real, going away to a university is extremely similar to high school)
But a few years ago I finally stopped giving a *kitten*. I'm pretty darn real, I say what I think, I share real things about my life, and I'm not ashamed to be silly or controversial or outspoken. However, the one caveat to that is that I fully believe in picking your battles, because unnecessary drama is... well... unnecessary.
Pretty much the only situation where I still act 'fake' is when I'm new at a job, or around customers -- because you can never let on that you are angry or upset when you work in retail. I've gotten really good at plastering on a smile when I would love nothing more than to say "well **** you too ma'am" to a b!tchy customer...
I can totally respect and understand that kind of "fake" My beef is with this whole drama thing. I never had drama growing up and to be honest I still don't personally, but in this area I see a lot of "adults" behaving like catty little brats and it is just mind boggling to me.
You never had drama growing up? Must be nice...
Haha, but I agree. There is far too much silly drama at my workplace currently, hence the "pick your battles" method and I just try to stay out of it for the most part... though I do have a nasty tendency to gossip. I can't keep a secret for the life of me... :X
I can't believe that there are so many adults that behave so badly! I often wonder if I gave them the whoopin they missed growing up would they straighten their act out?0 -
I tend to be kind of shy and quiet until I get to know people or feel comfortable in a situation... unless Im drinking and then it's all over with. If Im drinking then I don't shut up lol.
This is me. Reserved around strangers then BAM! loud, laughing and sometimes loose of tongue.
Oh, and I'll join in giving the whoopins being handed out.0 -
Online i'm a real *kitten*-bag..........oh wait....what was the question
I love this! You will get far online0 -
Everyone pretends to be someone else at some time. Even if it's only a little or only to certain people.
I think people only do that if they are people pleasing. I don't think that everyone does it. Some people just let it all hang out
Some of us work in professions that require us to be people pleasing. And it kinda tends to bleed over into other aspects of life.
I will admit I used to be really shy, but I decided that I wanted to be more outgoing. So I started pretending to be confident and outgoing. Eventually I wasn't pretending anymore. Now I can talk to a stranger as if I've known them for years.0 -
I am a throttled back version of Me...i think i am a little to much for most people....
Most people don't even know what they want or who they are so screw em!0 -
On the internet I am not shy at all.
IRL? That's another story.
^^This
I am going through a phase where I don't give a **** about what people think of me lately. *shrugs* Maybe I'm finally growing up and becoming comfortable in my own skin. Either way, it rocks!0 -

I totally restrain myself online. The whole Normal Person + Anonymity = Total *kitten* principle is one that I try to be conscious of. I want to be a nice person and while I can be a bit... honest... from time to time, I think I manage, for the most part. What you see online is pretty close to the real deal, just with a wee bit more tongue-biting.
I follow what you are saying. Do you have levels of real but with sprinkles of less tongue biting?0 -
Real online and in person, if I know you. Otherwise in person I am more laid back and go with the flow, since I tend to be a bit shy until I know you, then refer back to the first part lol
Interesting... So if I got to know you the real crazy would come out?0 -
I'm always real. Gets me in trouble a lot, but whatever. Love me or hate me........or bite me.
You are my kind of people 0 -
Sometimes I pretend to be a woman
Sometimes men pretend to be women too. I'm pretty sure that most are just big boys wearing men's shoes.0 -

Handing out whoopins are always more fun with friends 0 -

Ok, I have a serious one now. In interviews, I pretend to be a professional, descent person. Ok, maybe it wasn't THAT serious.0

Nah, I leave that for AFTER I get the job. It's kinda like a surprise for my employer. A pleasant surprise, I'm sure.
