I have this friend from secondary school. Let’s call him Dave. All my life I know Dave, he has been a quiet person.
However, some years back a friend of mine invited me to join this WhatsApp group where friends from our secondary school hang out online. Dave is there and Dave, is as chatty as Chatty Belle online, typing away whole day everyday. Totally not the Dave I know from school.
You would think he has changed over the years but noooo…. When we came out for coffee later, yep, back to as quiet as a mouse Dave just like how he was back in 1995.
I am sure a lot of you introverts here are like that. I’ve met a few of you, so I know!
I guess it’s alright for some people are just wired like that. Unlike what people might think, I don’t think Dave is ‘hiding’ behind a screen. I feel it’s more like, Dave has found his voice through the right platform.
That is when I learnt diff people express themselves in diff ways. Some through music or artwork, Some through body movements or facial expressions.
And of course some through typing in WhatsApp group like Dave and WordPress posts like you and me.
