I like to treat Fab as a bit of escapism and a diversion from everyday life and I guess that's probably true for most of us individually.
Collectively though Fab is a mix of very diverse and different personalities with a common interest and it's intriguing when we all mix in the forums!
Anyone else fascinated by this? Or just me?   | |||

"I'm no psychologist at all but at at times I find the forums an interesting place to just 'people watch' - am I alone in this? I guess they're like a little microcosm of real life - watching as everyone goes about their business and how they interact with each other can be quite fascinating I think! Who's flirting with who, who's passive aggressive, who's white knighting, who's empathetic, who's a right softie at heart, who's an attention whore (*guilty, m'lud!), who's got a heart of gold ... the list is endless. It's like a soap opera at times! If you don't already do it, take some time out to observe what's going on, the games being played and how different people or groups are treated - it really can a be insightful glimpse into human behaviour!

"I find OP that in comparison to when I used to post quite a bit I've cut down quite a lot and just browse the forums/observe more now without posting much. Over time you learn and figure out peoples patterns and opinions on the forums from every category from who the relaxed and laid back folks are to who is just a full on arse hole who you just avoid talking with and if they start some shit then just tell em to fuck off. " | |||

" "what I find more interesting about lurking too is that you can figure out what you want to discuss and talk with other posters with. Don't get me wrong there are more than enough nice people on here but what I find off putting about posting on just normal everyday subjects/threads is that they can be going al right then some one makes one comment or joke etc then all hell breaks loose and it's a full on argument/back and forth where as it could have been avoided or was just not necessary/not the time and place to talk like that? What can you do though eh humans are unpredictable that way it's kind off the whole interesting shift and change in our psychology like how you brought up. | |||

Yes it is fascinating and how predictable some people are even if they dont think they are.
Its just like any social situation where a group of people from all walks off life come together.

It doesn't make you naughty I would say it makes you more curious or you like quisitive. Either that or you just like to subtly mess around a bitand see what surprised or unexpected reaction off confusion you might get off people. | |||
