Not cool dude. What's with the hostility? I m pretty sure she was not looking to attack your statement but for you to explain how exactly do you act different in different circumstances. It might have been something interesting.

I never gave much thought to the differences in my behavior in different environments. I ll try to pay attention in the future, I m actually curious about what exactly do I do differently.

No, i just though you had something specific in mind when you said you acted different around other people. Of course I won't talk drugs with my parents but other stuff is more unconscious.

As an example, I noticed that when I speak french with my french friends, I have a French accent. When I speak with people from Quebec I have more of a Quebecois accent. They were always very separate areas of my life and i never noticed until I hung out in a more mixed group and started talking very weird.

I think you should give people the benefit of the doubt or account for misunderstandings (which I think is what happened here) before jumping to the conclusion we are either all idiots or attacking you.

You`re mean. I really hope for your own sake it`s just your internet alter ego.

Remember the old adage "Don't feed the trolls". Perhaps you've been off the site enough not to notice that this guy is just a troll trying to ruffle feathers. It's not you; he does it to everyone.

elizabeth I had this guy muted the day he made his account, don't take it personally. He's angry, confused and alone. If that wasn't clear enough the way he spoke to lil then you know for sure now.

Here's me wishing there was something more powerful than a mute button.
