People posting on Facebook [View all]

I find it interesting and peculiar how with some people on my Facebook, they never post anything like thoughts or jokes the way they would in person, either one on one or at a gathering. I have one old friend from a workplace from about 25 years ago, and she was considered totally nuts by most of the people who worked there, but I thought she was the funniest, most original person I had ever met. I considered her like the Indian character called a Heyoka, which is a person that does everything backwards and puts society in perspective. I even made a Heyoka doll for her from cornhusks. But she never shows that side of herself on Facebook. There are several people like that.

It's like these people become politically correct since they are posting publicly on Facebook.

This post is more suited to a Psychology forum, but there is no such thing on DU.
