I've been visiting a chatroom for about 18 months now. It's been great fun, I've learned a lot, and I've chatted to so many different people. Or so I thought.
Very gradually I have come to realise that all the people I like the best, the ones I always look for and have the most contact with, are in fact all the same person with lots of different user names.
This person has created so many different characters. They all have different opinions, different ways of expressing themselves. They are as different from each other as real people and yet they are not real people. They are wonderful amazing characters created by one person. A very clever, creative, beautiful, funny person.
But I am at a complete loss about what to do now. Just about everyone I speak to in this chatroom now, I'm wondering if it's him. (He really is very talented at what he does.) And I'm never sure.
I've been talking to one of the friends I've made in this chatroom on the phone and my confusion has got to the point I'm even beginning to wonder if this friend is also another one of his characters.
I want to talk to him (the real him) so badly but have no idea how to begin to ask. (which of his characters would I approach? there are so many of them and he always maintains them, even in mails ,though sometimes i think i catch glimpses of the real person).
I don't want to lose him. But I have no idea how to reach him either. I have become very fond of him and i don't want to let him down just because I can't figure out what to do or how to respond.
Can anyone help or advise?
Please?
I can play along with it when we are in the public arena of the chatroom. It's all part of the fun. But I find it so difficult to know what to say or how to react when he maintains his characters when he mails me.
