Jeff Goins Says...

Here's another beautiful article from Jeff Goins...remind me of the reason why I seldom log into my FB account. Call me judgmental, call me sensitive, call me emotional or call me crazy, but I usually become so judgmental whenever I saw some friends posting unnecessary status on their FB wall...and I hate whenever I turned in to that "monster"... I don't want to have a negative thought about people that I've known for years. And everytime I saw their dramatic status, I'll questioning myself, who are they actually...? The one that always calm and compose in actual world, or the one that always fussy and ill-tempered person in virtual world..?
Most of the time I try to stick with the first assumption...so that I'll stop being judgmental. After all nobody is perfect, and all of us need an outlet, just choose the right medium...
But seriously, I really want to know the answer...who are we actually...? Which is actually our real disposition..?
Now, I have successfully achieving 80% of my target...not to hook too much with my FB account. I'll try to stay connected with old friends via less conventional ways; email, texting or call. Through these three medium, I can feel the sincere and real connection. Frankly, I only have few old friends that usually text and call me (vice versa)...and it's quiet good actually...perhaps.

"Something odd happens with this heightened level of intimacy without commitment. People get sensitive. Some turn into jerks.."

P/S; I have dozens of experiences being both...thank you very much to the "virtually relying friendship"...Sigh.
