I think all these years, I've gotten the worst of my personality out on here, so in real life I can appear nice and sane.
I have recently written some crappy emails, and stupid notes and should really just not communicate via text without first filtering it through a semi-anonymous forum.
to everyone, thank you, and jesus christ...I am so sorry.

You could start making it up to us by sending me cookies.

You found some toilet paper in the trash can? You didn't have to put it in your pocket!

let's leave jesus out of this...
I think forums bring out the extremes in everyone personality. I know it does me, when I read back some of my posts I shudder but when typing, it sounds like what you wanted it to mean in your head.
But cookies for the board would be a nice gesture (y)

yes, but not really, the boyfriend fight turned into a serious discussion, there was no yelling. However, I did cry. I just wrote something stupid in an email, something I could've either worded better or not said at all. It's okay though, it ended up sparking a discussion about our whole relationship and how we had a couple of things to work on. Honestly, it's not a whole lot...basically I need to stop mumbling and overreacting, and he needs to stop being condescending when I don't understand what he's talking about, and to stop getting so crabby when things don't go his way.
annnd, I wrote a note to my coworker/BFF regarding some mistakes he'd made at work, and he got really angry at me. but we got over that in like 2 minutes. even so, it would have been better to avoid the situation altogether. I should've called.

maybe that's the problem, I'm too used to typing on forums where I suffer no real consequences for my words.
blah, lesson learned...hopefully.

no, I speak clearly when I'm mad. I mumble when I am uncertain about something. as in, when we went to a bar recently to see a movie premiere, he got there first and had a soda at the bar...I just wanted water, but then thought maybe I wanted a beer or something. anyway, he was like, "okay, let's get a seat" and stood up, and I was like, "umm, wait, I uh...hang, mebbe well I" and he was like, "what? I can't hear you!". so I just said, "yeah, sorry, just go sit down, I'll be over in a minute".
and, apparently I do that a lot. *shrugs*
it's just a quirk or whatever, it's not like I can really change. I told him that when I talk like that, he just shouldn't even listen.
I think the main problem is that we have been trying to please the other person too much, then getting frustrated and irritated. but it's not really necessary to stress, because we're normally on the same page anyway.
the whole, "are you alright? everything okay? is it okay if we do this this way?" thing has got to go...we just need to be like, "hey, this is what we're doing because it's the best way". or I need to be like that, I'm more guilty of it than he is. I guess I just don't want to be telling him what to do all the time, but he says he'd rather I just tell him what to do than pussy foot around. :p
I only yell when I'm having fun

I think the behavior is pretty normal in forums. Being anonymous is like a shell for us.
