Do they know the real you?

You're really sweet. Thank you. <3
Words to me, hurt worse than anything. That's why I try to surround myself with nice people! Good Karma goes a long way. :)

I know what you mean. Deep physical wounds go away eventually, even if they leave scars, but deep emotional wounds never heal. It's more hurtful to me to be insulted over something which is true than to take two to the chest, so to speak, but I do have a high threshold on pain.

I believe that what goes around, comes around. Especially bad karma that is associated with violence, because violence begets violence. Then again maybe I'm taking that out of context? Either way, I share your sentiments. :D

Emotional wounds leave a scar on the heart, that's why the heart is the strongest muscle in the human body... In more than one way. ;-)
 
Awh, thank you, story! And you are pretty. :)

I think there are two types of online people. Hardcore gamers, forumers, etc. and casual gamers and people on Youtube and Facebook. The people who have been on the Internet, like people here, tend to be more liberal and open-minded, and that's why they seem more accepting. But when I play a game online or visit certain forums, I hear and read all kinds of mean things. I'm young, but I've been on the Internet for a very long time. I don't think I'd be the same person had I not discovered message boards, and even though it's tough to figure, I bet I'd be a much sadder person.
 
I wouldn't consider myself an outcast because i dumped myself.Generally i've pushed through most of my people issues now. It is kind of stupid to live your life in fear and refusing to change. Its much easier to just drop the whole facade and face your bull****.Anyway its mostly just crap that has been pumped into our heads.
 
Ohh, the emotional pain. That's what I used to think as well. Utill I got a chest tube onto my lungs thrice and I got to know real pain :P . Don't get me wrong, being sensitive can make your social life difficult, but I always try to think that I'm in much much better position than other people. So yeah, Hoady knows what he's doing.

As for the internet, I take it as a subsitute of real life. The less you enjoy something in real life the more you seek it on the internet. Fullfilling your needs on the net might not be as satisfying as it would be in real life but it's always easier to do so. That's why the internet community can be nicer imo. It's full of people insecure, people who got bullied, people who are not fine with themselves. They find a lot of people like them that share their own problems.

Of course there are other kinds of people as well, but they represent the minority imo.
 
I am the kind of person that doesn't care about what others think about me at any given moment. While going through school I wasn't exactly popular, but I had a few friends and everbody knew who I was. (being the largest person in school helped.) However, I don't like to make a distintion between "real life" friends and "internet friends", because the internet is a means of communication I use to stay in contact with my friends.
 
I seem to be a bit of an oddball here in that I don't think people online know me as well as my close friends and heck, even my coworkers do. I have ranted here quite a bit about personal things, but it's alot easier to hide certain vulnerabilities online than it is in real life. In 'real life', reactions and interactions are spontaneous... and sometimes you show people things you don't want them to see. Interactions here are often moderated and filtered as they can be thought about and considered before they are said.

But, at the same time, and this is a bit contradictory, I don't have the same reputation to uphold here as I do in real life... the amount of time I spend at school and work and with other students, professors, co-workers, and managers influences how I behave as it is important for me to advance 'professionally' in life. As a result I can't always be talking about my vagina like I do here, as fascinating as she might be. So, yeah, that's pretty much my two cents... hopefully it made sense to someone and wasn't just a gigantic load of rambling crap.

I've encountered some major creepdom WITHIN the RE community...
This one girl was on webcam with me one time and we were having a normal conversation when all of a sudden BAM her boobs came out of nowhere and she wanted me to do the same thing. In fear of my boobs being screencapped I respectfully declined XD A lot of guys have randomly shown me their... members... through various picture attachments and one started a chat with me while it was dead center in the webcam. :| All of them were people I spoke to on a regular basis too, it wasn't like I was on Chatroulette... A place I would EXPECT to see that! Hahaha

I'm sure you are just as sexy awesome in real life as you are on this forum.

Honestly though, I think online communities are hit and miss. Some are great (like this one) and some are....well stupid. You've got ***holes everywhere online. It's just that if a jerk signs up on a forum they get banned and you never see them again. Eventually a solid and supportive community is built because only the level-headed members remain. However, in real life there is always that one that needs to go away, but just won't. -_- The pro to online communities is that if one doesn't appeal to you just keep searching until one does. It's easier to forum hop then people hop. (Okay, so that sounds weird, but I'm gonna leave it there anyway.)

Where was I even going with this? Meh, whatever.

You better show tell me everything. ;)


and I agree Meg, I've been forum hopping for years, some places I've just stuck, and other places I've gotten the hell out of there! It just depends on the place and what type of people are there. If there seems to be a pattern of douches then most of the time that's the type that conjugates there. Same with nice people, and I have yet to meet a douche here so that's a good sign! :)
 
In general I confide in real life friends more than online. Online is an escape, but not a place for honesty, really. I'm pretty honest with people in general, I'm horrible at thinking one thing and doing another so people who know me IRL usually have a very good idea of who I am and what I'm about. As a general rule I don't share anything too deep online, but when I do it's something that I am fairly confident none of you could use against me in real life. Like, I could tell you that I sprayed some graffiti under a bridge in Manayunk, Pennsylvania, but what are you going to do with that information?

Meg is probably the only person here who knows where Manayunk is, but I doubt she would be able to find where in Manayunk it is. Say I told her how to get there. There are more than 100 tags at that place. Even if I told her which one it was, the most she would be able to do would be to call the police and say "Hey, you see that graffiti there? The guy who did it frequents this website." Not really a help to the investigation.

Besides, I don't think any of you care enough to track me down. This isn't /b/ where 100 people will pull up Google and figure out who you are, where you live, and what high school you went to.

^Oh, I can name a few douchebags among these boards... they just usually don't last long here before getting a boot up their arse.

Fortunately for this site, there needs to be ONE douchebag that sticks around...*Points to himself* ;)


Most people on here don't know the real me...Then again, most of my friends don't either...I like to keep my past to me and look foreward to the future with both online friends and real friends, without having to get too in-depth about myself unless it's someone I really trust...


Mod edit: Merged.
 
I find a lot of the time that everyone... I mean including my real life and online friends open up to me for some reason. I've been nicknamed the human confessional for a reason. I never tell anyone else, and I give out advice that is good apparently or people wouldn't keep coming to me with their problems...

Problem is though, I have my OWN problems to deal with on my own... So the fact that people are sharing theirs with me in confidence just stacks on more problems lol. I've heard things from people before that would make anyone else not be able to sleep at night... It's funny when people who have shared such intimate details with me treat me wrong. I could share it with anyone if I wanted to, but out of respect for them (even if they have none for me) I keep it to myself.

With that said, I probably wouldn't want to share something way too intimate with an online friend unless I've known them for years. I don't just go around sharing my secrets, especially if it can be taken as a "weakness" to others. That's the sad thing about the internet... You have places like /b/ where people are openly trying to sabotage others lives for the "lulz". There's a fine line of just playing around and serious hacking and/or cyber bullying someone to death.
