I been going out more to meet ups and library events. I will go to a board game group and book chat where people has to interact with each other. <br />I&#39;m beginning to find face to face conversation are better in real life then online. <br />I do not think being online is real life. There are malicious people that hide behind a computer screen and dehumanize people that calling them vile words. <br /> The good thing about online is you get to meet people from different places that you may never meet in real life.<br /> <a href="https://snapdragonalcoveblog.wordpress.com/2024/04/05/february-wrap-up-2024-2/" rel="nofollow">My recent blog post</a><br />Snapdragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03341628788852045830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-46792774533793350182020-04-28T00:43:07.457-07:002020-04-28T00:43:07.457-07:00QUICK RELIABLE CURE, Am so glad expressing my prof...QUICK RELIABLE CURE, Am so glad expressing my profound gratitude to a man that is so concerned about other people&#39;s well being. I was suffering from (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS) over 4 years, i have spent thousands of dollars in buying expensive drugs and visiting several hospitals in different countries, i was really in severe pain &quot;until&quot; one glorious morning, i read about Doctor Razor on the internet on how he had helped and cured so many people suffering from HERPES 1&amp;2, HPV, CANCER, HIV/AIDS, ALZHEIMER, FIBROID, ENLARGED PROSTATE, HEMORRHOIDS&#39; PILE and HEART DISEASE ETC. So i contacted him through this Email: drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com and i shared my problems with him, he gave me the healing procedure and i followed them. 18 days later he told me to go for a medical test, behold the result was negative, now am (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS)  Negative. I just want to use this platform to thank Doctor Razor for curing me from that deadly virus and also for exposing his herbal cure to the world, please you can as well contact him at drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com (or) Whatsapp/Call him +2349065420442 for solutions to your health problemsDiane Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09188648834162856537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-4402940811627755662015-10-24T13:40:13.172-07:002015-10-24T13:40:13.172-07:00Great post, Greg!

I can talk fantasy with my daughter and occasionally my husband, romances and mysteries with my mom, and both plus fantasy with my sister, but most of them (except my husband) are at a distance. I&#39;ve made a few writer friends locally in the last few years (not that I consider myself a writer - not yet, anyway - but they&#39;re book people and that&#39;s what matters.) But I&#39;m so grateful to the blogging community because I&#39;ve been making friends and have people to share my passion for books with! Sometimes I wish they weren&#39;t all so far away; it would be fun to meet in real life. :-)Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639732368395025578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-62156616871342782512015-10-23T17:15:24.034-07:002015-10-23T17:15:24.034-07:00PS.

I have a part time job with an entertainment promotional company, and there are so many Halloween events in my area that hire bands and performers, it is crazy. It is like having two full time jobs the last couple of weeks in October. I have found the mix of introverts and extroverts in book blogging about 50/50 with the ones I follow. I think the introverts have more time to blog and because of that have the more popular blogs and that&#39;s where the &quot;book bloggers are introverts&quot; label comes from; maybe. I also don&#39;t have IRL bookish friends, so yeah, I was so happy to stumble upon book blogging. My sister is a reading nut so I do have her, and guess what? She is an introvert! She is so bad she won&#39;t even socialize on Facebook. And yes, I do consider many of my blogging friends real friends. :)La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-45123636336154535512015-10-18T17:25:42.775-07:002015-10-18T17:25:42.775-07:00I agree, meeting people from all over who love boo...I agree, meeting people from all over who love books the same way is pretty awesome.

Even if I don&#39;t get to meet anyone (or if I ruin things with awkward loudness), I will still consider this community my home. I met some BookTubers at a recent event, but no bloggers. Most people I know IRL, know about my blog but I don&#39;t think anyone looks at it. I think it is more of an acquired taste.

If my mom comes to visit that&#39;s nice, but afterwards I am tired and happy it&#39;s over as well. And large groups of people are even worse. Social conenctions on internet don&#39;t seem to have the same effect. I can do a lot of blog commenting on a day and hardly ever get tired from that. I think part of that is becasue of the topic and maybe also because I can decide when I want the social interaction and stop when I want it? I&#39;ve never been to a book convention though, so I don&#39;t know the feeling of meeting other book blovers in real life. I know a few people in real life who read, not many though, but not many whom I can talk about books with like I do online. So I am happy to have met all these amazing people online who love to talk about books as much as I do.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284689418552571180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-52741512803678653662015-10-18T09:02:27.430-07:002015-10-18T09:02:27.430-07:00I think blogging is definitely real life, because ...I think blogging is definitely real life, because even for those who are timid and more introvert, they share on their blog and on social media, and make new connections - just in a way they are comfortable with, and able to do so from their coach, or somewhere else they feel safe.<br />I love how the internet has opened the world this way, having friends in every continent, being able to chat with someone about books no matter what time it is where I live - someone is always up, and at their computer, more than happy to chat books with me.<br />And meeting blogger friends face to face is an amazing experience, because we already do know each other quite well, and laughing together, hearing each others&#39; voices, hugging and chatting until late at night just makes that an even richer experience.<br />Great post, Greg :) <br />Lexxie @ <a href="http://unconventionalbookviews.com/" rel="nofollow"> (un)Conventional Bookviews</a>Linda @ (un)Conventional Bookwormshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627780985218960080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-31293802603122645982015-10-18T08:03:00.920-07:002015-10-18T08:03:00.920-07:00Great post!

And they know I have a blog and they see and often comment on my blog Facebook page but they don&#39;t really visit the blog unless it&#39;s a non bookish post! Which is ok, that&#39;s why I blog anyway. And yes I&#39;m introverted but I do have friends and I&#39;m ok in large gatherings too, I just find that I find my voice better on my blog and I like the act of writing and documenting my thoughts.

I do have one wonderful person who sits and listens to me ramble about the new books I&#39;ve read every single week, but it&#39;s still not the same as talking to people who get it.<br /><br />It&#39;s odd though because I find it harder to &quot;fit in&quot; and make friends online. So far the community has been nothing but nice, and I would very much feel like I lost something if it were to disappear now, but I still never feel like I know what I&#39;m doing. I still love it though, and I&#39;ll get the hang of it eventually!Kit @ Metaphors and Moonlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113986982046115579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-27870957884701634292015-10-17T11:17:22.481-07:002015-10-17T11:17:22.481-07:00Blogging is a part of real life, but I can&#39;t r...Blogging is a part of real life, but I can&#39;t really share it around me, except with one of my coworkers.

I&#39;m an extrovert in real life. I make friends easily and will talk to mostly anyone (hence going on solo holidays, etc). I think the problem is though, I don&#39;t let people get close to me. With blogging I can be myself. In real life there&#39;s only a select amount of people who want to listen to me rank about books... and only for so long! With my blog - it&#39;s all about books! Fantastic! We can meet new people and gush over books. I think, for me, it&#39;s about meeting the like-minded people we don&#39;t see much of in real life :) So we can share more (and again, gush about books :P he he!)<br />Great post!<br />Amy xAmy @ A Novel Starthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17154062221442662039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-69300395008935025472015-10-14T21:36:24.222-07:002015-10-14T21:36:24.222-07:00There&#39;s something nice about having a blog whe...There&#39;s something nice about having a blog where we can be who we are, love books and share that- and have other people who understand it.
