Nor would I want to have everyone know every little nuance and quirk about me. I don't even know them all!<br /><br />I think the blog is almost the closest I get to my full well-rounded self and even that's not completely me. It has HUGE holes in a couple of places.Just Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861216483398553225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-87192779344637535402012-01-02T18:28:04.982-05:002012-01-02T18:28:04.982-05:00It's nice to be reminded that I am made up of ...It's nice to be reminded that I am made up of many different facets, and as a result my friends are all different ages, inclinations and personalities.Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166527552362784957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-8153434725969997032011-12-29T19:24:19.527-05:002011-12-29T19:24:19.527-05:00Agreed on many counts.

I am in the process of evaluating those shards, deciding if it is possible to bring them together in some new construction. The jury is still out on the whole process.<br /> On a less serious note, I am actually perfectly fine about staying off the topics of politics and religion. I have strong opinions about both but I absolutely do not feel compelled to share them. Why cause issues? If I don't think my opinions are going to be appreciated, then I just keep it to myself.Graciewildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142582724233027386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-75857104899912137212011-12-29T18:01:15.172-05:002011-12-29T18:01:15.172-05:00Funny, how I can relate to this so well.

Sometimes people ask me 'How in the world are you two friends?' <br />And now I get it (: Each one brings out a little part, a little side of me. Never really thought of it that way! Thanks for making me see that!Larissa T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18054129254135419707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-77365300398781713012011-12-29T13:15:34.898-05:002011-12-29T13:15:34.898-05:00This "spectrum of self" is one of my fav...This "spectrum of self" is one of my favorite things to noodle about. I had always assumed that it was a product of moving around a lot and that perhaps I was a freak. I sometimes get a giggle over thinking about what would happen if all of my Facebook friends were all in the same room together. There might be bloodshed.TangledLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771682524596744447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-12588402809218523732011-12-29T12:08:38.827-05:002011-12-29T12:08:38.827-05:00Wow, thank you for sharing!

I just finished composing a very difficult to a 'friend?' and was addressing some of these same questions in it...how odd that we were thinking of these same big questions on the same day! I really identified with your post today- thanks for opening up!cdnkarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12300104667616840616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-58048054396939719942011-12-29T11:48:48.619-05:002011-12-29T11:48:48.619-05:00So very true, but something I hadn't really th...So very true, but something I hadn't really thought of before. It's interesting, because my son, who has high-functioning autism and many social issues is the same in any situation, which causes those issues.Julie DeMillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17929034148906710834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-30319362839151789872011-12-29T07:17:47.270-05:002011-12-29T07:17:47.270-05:00Politics, sure, but religion?

As a recovering Catholic, I have spent my adult life tip-toeing around the subject of the Church with my parents, and that's hard to do when you wear clod-hoppers. <br /><br />Also, I'm glad I read the post earlier in the month about B.C; otherwise the joke might have given me the wrong impression about your political views. Uh oh. Am I talking politics here?Mark O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295762252612104201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-9212203607770651112011-12-29T02:02:53.656-05:002011-12-29T02:02:53.656-05:00Holy cow Masked Mom - you have an amazing brain! ...Holy cow Masked Mom - you have an amazing brain! I was fascinated reading this post - I have many facets to my personality and certain people bring out different characteristics. I think I'm pretty genuine, but realize that with a few certain people it is very hard to be myself - I'm intimidated or whatever. But I guess what your post made me realize is that just because I'm different with different people I'm not being fake. I hope this makes sense cuz its late and I'm tired :)Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16917139752555698353noreply@blogger.com
