Balancing Networks

We belong to different types of networks. They vary from our family, friends, work. I think in a sense we choose our networks to even out our lives. We can't be the same person with all the networks. It would be too crazy. The way we act at home is different than how we act at work or with friends. I can't imagine behaving the same way with my friends and coworkers. I think it somehow balances us out and lets us be creatively different.

    I agree. We have different personalities in different situations- we can't even explain sometimes.

    I agree that we present different sides of ourselves to different networks. The things we might share with our friends would never be shared in our professional network (at least not mine!). I think, too, that a person who has one strong network tends to have other strong networks. The networks may focus on different areas, but I've witnessed that they tend to be strong (or weak) across the board. It seems that one's personal networks lay the foundation for all the others.

    Sometimes we are who we are, because of the people we are around or surround ourselves with. If we are not confident, sometimes we let people choose who we are.

    This is true. We all have our ways of behaving at different places and we know how we have to behave in certain places. We are who we hang out with and we share the networks with one another.

    I agree....its we really do have different personalities within ourselves. Certain people really do change the way we act, live and behave.

    we cannot be the same "person" with every network. it is because we are different in every network that we have diverse aspects to our personality. different ppl get to experience sides of us that some may never get to see

    I also agree. The way I interact with my co-workers is completely different from my interaction with my friends. In fact, I tend to act differently with all of my friends. I guess we all just go with the flow. It all depends on their personality.

    Thus, I would conclude that our networks do not define who we are ... they just discribe it.
