Another interesting study in the science of human interactions.
As I continue to explore and learn about message board "etiquette", if you will, I continue to find so many things interesting. Some of you might dismiss this conversation, saying that real life has no bearing on what is created on a message board. I personally, disagree.
I've noticed a few scenarios that interest me. And wish to discuss them....2 people know of each other, but have never met. They choose to ignore each others presence at public functions. I suppose there could be many reasons for this and of course, no one is obliged to acknowledge the presence of another. But I find this curious, in that it seems to say something about an interaction that is created on-line. Which begs the question, if the on-line interaction is not pertinent to real life, why do get this result? About this result, I find it can be dissapointing. Perhaps it is the persona created that interfers with what could be a productive relationship, in which case, this is unfortunate.
What an interesting and self-protective world we live in when we know of each other and choose to build and maintain barriers...for what reason?
It is natural to choose your entourage. But to choose it based on a pre-conceived idea seems.....hurtful sometimes. Of course, we can't be friends with everybody. Maybe people trust that they will find each other.
I have no answers. Just questions.
Your comments are welcome.
