I'm curious to see what people think
In my recent entries, I had a piece of writing that more or less analyzed me as a person. In response to this, someone that knew me really well made the comment that she disagreed with my analysis, and that I am much more disclosing and candid in writing than I am in person.
Now, I don't think I ever would have thought of myself as being aloof. I generally take pride in the fact that I have nothing to hide, and that I allow my feelings to govern a lot of my actions. I will fully admit that my writing tends to be rather open and honest. I've always thought of it as being rather cathartic. But the question is, am I typically a closed off person, an open person who just happens to be more open in my writing, about the same either way, or do you have some other take on the subject?
Sometimes it truly does take an outsider's perspective to know yourself more fully.
