CB Personalities

CB Personalities vs Real Life 

First off, I realized yesterday that September 2nd had passed and I had forgotten all about my CBversary! I didn't want to make a whole thread dedicated to it, but a small celebration for that. *tosses confetti* I can't believe I've been here for an. Entire. Year. Mandy would like to give you all celabratory muffins, so I'll leave her to pass those out and move onto the next point of this thread.

I was thinking about the kind of person I am on CB and what I'm like in real life.

In actuality, I'm kind of awkward and shy, mostly around new people. I'm rather paranoid, and have an overactive imagination, often resulting in getting myself into unprecedented panics. For example, I'll think of every possible worst case scenario and make a plan for what I should do, which leads to me getting upset and scared. I am a shy extrovert, which means I love human interaction and talking to people, but that I am naturally quiet and it's difficult for me to do so.

On CB, I've noticed I'm more spunky, bright, happy-go-lucky, and willing to speak my mind. I guess it's easier to do that through a screen than face to face.

Do you guys notice anything like this in yourselves?

back to the Down to Earth

Ahahahh yes! On here, I noticed I'm kinda serious (usually), but also happy, upbeat, and not afriad to usually speak my mind. Irl, I tend to be very derpy when I'm alone, and I have a hard time speaking up to those who have authority over me. I can also get angry kinda easily, and I have learned that watching too many detective shows can turn you into one.

Like seriously, something just happened yesterday and my friend called me a pro-stalker XD

(I don't really stalk people, it's just sometimes I get super curious and end up digging around with a just the name of a person and a group).  

I also have n extremly hard time listening to rules that I don't think are right.

Somewhat, l guess. It's not llke l'm a completely different person outside of the Internet, l tend to retain most of my traits from real life to here.

Buuuuut then again, l'm way more intorverted in real life, more  spontaneous, and probably more fangirl-y then l let on. l don't really think l'm majorly different, l'm feel like l'm still bascially the same person.

It's Coco and I's CBversery today! 

*coughs* Sorry. I just wanted to get that out there. In real life, I'd say I'm much more negative. However, I don't show that side to my friends/extended family. I am very fangirly, though, and do actually say Ohmigandalf. :)

Happy CBversery!!!!

In real life, I am a lot more shy than I am on here. I also love chatting IRL. I think I am a lot more serious and mature IRL than I appear to be on here, because I don't have to worry about responsibility as much, here. However, most of my friends (which means my ONLY friend, Cho) don't see me depressed, but I do get depressed often. I know, I know. You guys won't believe that. After all, you all reason, Daisy is, well, a Daisy! And her colors are yellow and green, right? No, people. I get depressed. Who has heard that song by Taylor Swift, "Tied together with a smile"? The lyrics go something like this, and it describes me perfectly:

you cry, but you don't tell anyone. 

You might, not be the golden one. 

You're tied together with a smile but 

you're coming undone...

Hold on, baby you're losing it. ...

and no one knows: 

that you cry, but you don't tell anyone.

That you might, not be the golden one.

Buuuttttt: you're tied together with a smile and you're coming undone....

I notice this a lot! I'm pretty outgoing, cheerful, and happy on the CB, and hopefully optimistic. In real life, I'm really, really, awkward, and shy, and easily saddened. For no reason! I try to be my CB self in real life because my CB self is better ;)

Hmm... I'd say I'm really different in real life. IRL, I'm really quiet and shy, but not like your stereotypical shy person who turns out to be an amazing singer and blossoms into an amazing leader and blah blah blah. Those people annoy me (in books.) I am an average singer. Not all shy people are singers. Grr. And I am able to stand up for myself. I am also very loud and prone to screaming for no reason around friends (but only around friends.) I don't talk much otherwise. I play cello, love running, want to get better at acting, and dislike everything girly. Also, smart people can be athletic. I hate wearing dresses and usually just wear t-shirts and shorts. I have a group of really weird, awesome friends who talk about things like how Peppa pig will end the world and how Camelantelopia (AKA Australia) will be the only place safe from the mutant beaver apocalypse, and we never get involved in drama or crushes or anything. I also have Kestrel, but we don't go to the same school anymore :( but we still see eachother pretty much every weekend. I quote Hamilton irl as much as I do on the CB, if not more.

I have to go now. Bye!

On the CB I don't even know who I am. One post I'll be like 'yo' and the next I'll be like ''cuz, kinda', ya' know' and sometimes I'll just be talking in my normal grammar. I think that's the same in real life. If you asked me, 'what's a few of your personality traits', I'll have no idea what to say. Who am I? What's my purpose? I ask the latter of myself often. 

Sorry for the rambling, I've been doing that recently. Anyhoo, that's me for ya'.

Reporter out! Yas.

METEPHORICALLY, I'M THE MAN, BUT LITERALLY I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM.  Sorry, I had to do that. I love to think about my personality, but right now I'm sort of confused about myself. I think on the CB, I'm looser and in real life I can be intense until I suddenly say OH, WHATEVER, HAVE SOME PIE!

Boom.

(Again, had to do it, don't know why, rambling.)

oh wow!! i love what Daisy did i have the perfect lyrics one about me and one about me and two. (former *CRIES* friend*

(1 about me!!) I'm a ghost of a girl that I used to know well,

i'm a shell of a girl that i want to be most,

dancing slowly in an empty room,

can the loney take the place of you. 

(1st one about friend *cries harder*)

I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like

And she'll never know your story like i do

but she wears short skirts

I wear tee shirts

she's cheer captain

and I'm on the bleachers

dreaming about the day when you wake up

 and find that what you're looking for has been here the who time

If you can see I'm the one who understands you

been her all along so why can't you see

you belong with me

(second one, hi I'm Amber! so Annabeth is crying to hard now so I'm taking ove this may of may not be about someone she likes,  AMBER!! DON'T TELL THEM!!!)

LOSING HIM WAS BLUE LIKE I'D NEVER KNOW

MISSING HIM WAS DARK GRAY ALONG

FORGETTING HIM WAS LIKE TRYING TO KNOW SOMEBODY YOU NEVER MET

BUT LOVING HIM WAS RED

LOVING HIM WAS RED.

Yeshhhh! Taylor Swift is awesome!! These are all lyrics of some of her songs, I put in (parentheses) the song title. :) Listen to them! 

Say you're sorry, that face of an angel comes out just when you need it to.

As I pace, back and forth, all this time because I honestly believed in you.

Holding on, the days drag on, stupid girl. I should've known. I should've known. (White horse) 

 

Handwritten note, deep in your pocket. Words, how little they mean; when they're a little to late....

Kiss me, try to fix it.

Could you just try to listen?

Hang up; give up.

For the life of us we can't get free.

Cause we had, a beautiful tragic love there. (Sad Beautiful Tragic) 

 

Why would you want to break, a perfectly good heart? Why, would you want to take our love and tear it all apart, now? Why, would you want to make the very first scar? Why would you want to break a perfectly good heart? It's not unbroken anymore. How do I get it back the way it was before? Why? (A perfectly good heart)

I wish I could tell you, It takes everything in me, not to call you. 

And I wish I could run to you, and I hope you know that

everything I don't, I almost do, I almost do.

I bet, you're sitting in your chair by the window,

looking out at the city and I hope:

sometimes you worry about me. (I almost do)  

 

Darling, we found wonderland  

you and I got lost in it,

and we pretended it could last forever. Hey!...

And life was never worse, but never better,

In wonderland! Eh, eh, eh, in wonderland. (Wonderland)

 

All we know, is touch and go....

I never, saw you coming.

And I'll never, be the same.

this is the state of grace.

And all we know, is don't let go. (State of grace)

I just thought if a few differences between my CB and real personality. I am VERY sensitive. I also think the worst if some things, mostly people.
