Im not really impressed with this whole big attitude on the internet, a venue where everyone is free to hype themselves up as whatever they wish.
If you are blowing people out with your words on your page before they can even get a chance to say hi to you, letting them know "how its gonna be", and what criteria they have to meet and what actions they have to perform before you will ackowledge them as a human being, ....to me really just exemplifies your urgency to relay to people that you have ultimate control in this arena, which the need to point that out would only indicate a great lack of it elsewhere..i.e. real life.
If your internet experience only exist to compensate for what you wish you were percieved as, then it and your novelty are surely destined to be short lived, and can only be maintained by invoking the curiosity of a steady flow of strangers and slight aquaintances, kept at arms reach not to see what you fear is the less interesting and unfathomably normal reality.
The cliche "attitude is everything" refers more to your personal outlook and disposition with yourself, not something that you feel you to have over embellish in your display.
Always remember, there are real people on the other end, with very real, very normal everyday lives, who also could easily put some compensating coat of paint on their personality to make themselves appear more than they are, but they choose not to, so they wont have to maintain it, and avoid the inevitable chipping and peeling and general weathering that goes along with it.
And in that, they will benefit from knowing that those that take an interest in them, are seeing and liking who they really are.
If who you really are is in fact the totally self centered brat that you may portray, then the aformentioned doesnt apply, because you are only seeking those that serve your purpose, and tell you what you want to hear, and thereby you cant complain about not havin anyone of any real substance....but surely you will anyway.
Peace, Maji
