I must have appeared just a bit crazy
The one thing I can honestly say about social media is you have the opportunity to meet some fascinating individuals. A few people I've had the opportunity to engage with have the interesting profession of voice actor. I suppose the main quality that impresses me the most is the ability to convey emotion with nothing but the sound of his or her voice. It's impressive. On one occasion I was listening intently to "bloopers" while Pinteresting. I've seen the show in question. I honestly don't need to watch it to know at what point in the script the actors are reading. In any case, I was enjoying the missed lines and errors. I thought I was alone. I've been accustomed to wearing headphones for some time. However, it's normal for me to be involved in a chat (video or otherwise), in a class, seminar, webinar, or listening to music. This day I was doing none of those and I felt as if I was being watched. As I turned around, my Mom slowly pulled her hand away. She'd intended on tapping me on the shoulder. I realized I must have appeared just a bit crazy. It obviously seemed as if I was laughing for no reason. Mom just wanted to know if I wanted anything for lunch. However, there's no telling how long she had been standing there puzzled by my unusual behavior. Way to go - me. Lesson learned, either be more attentive or cut back on the multi-tasking lest I appear to be something I'm not. I would suppose this lesson applies both online and off. Although I admit this is the first time I've honestly been concerned with offline perceptions due to my online activities. Usually it's the other way around.
