I've always found it fascinating how people perceive me differently based on where we meet. At my events, many would label me an extrovert, and they're not entirely wrong. But here's the thing: in real life, my energy and extroversion are very much dependent on the environment. If it's an event I'm hosting or a gathering with people I vibe with, I'm all in. I'm that person brimming with energy, buzzing around, making connections, and just soaking in the vibrancy of the moment. These are the spaces where I feel alive, where everything feels possible, and where my spirit truly soars.
However, place me in an environment that doesn't resonate, where the vibe feels off, or where the crowd just isn't my jam, and it's a different story. I can feel my energy seeping away, minute by agonizing minute. It's as if I'm a phone on 1% battery with no charger in sight. Ten minutes can feel like an eternity, and all I yearn for is an escape.
But the digital realm? That's a whole different ballgame. Online, I transform. I'm the definition of a digital extrovert. The internet is my domain, a place where my energy feels limitless. It's partly because it's a curated space by default. I don't have to engage with anyone I don't want to. Annoying DMs? Irrelevant notifications? They barely register on my radar.
Take AirChat, for instance. It's my playground. I can dive into conversations, engage in witty banter, and connect with people on my terms. And if a dialogue doesn't interest me, I have the power to simply ignore it. This ability to choose my interactions energizes me in ways that in-person interactions sometimes cannot.
This contrast has led me to an intriguing realization: I might be somewhat of an extrovert in real life, but online, I'm always a digital extrovert. The digital world offers a level of control and personalization that the physical world cannot match. It's in these digital spaces that my extroverted self truly finds its fullest expression, unbounded and unrestrained. So, if you've ever wondered why I seem more outgoing online than in person, now you know. In the realm of pixels and usernames, I've found a place where my extroverted self can truly thrive.
