Perceptions and Opinions (89)
skinnyminnypinkKilkenny, Ireland218 Threads 6,300 PostsBeing brave putting this up now cos no one probably around but whatever ... recently made a mistake and posted something on a thread which I really didn't mean to, but was surprised that others on the site should have thought that I was innocent??? 
we make decisions and choices based on our perceptions of others and their way of communicating on this site, and sometimes, I wonder, are we too hasty? Do we disregard somebody because of how we feel they might be without giving them the benefit of the doubt or a chance to interact?? I'm not innocent or demure or virginal or whatever (nearly 50 and four children!!!! FFS) but did people see something else when they viewed my profile?

Thanks, Ellissima, how are you??? Thought I'd show a different not so innocent side!!!!
I don't think it was so much other folks perceptions as it was your embarassment...
or the percieved embarassment.
if that makes any bloody sense.

Totally academic question .... do you view me differently because of the new pic? Not naked by the way but the other bit didn't show?? Not talking about the post when discussing perceptions, but people's perceptions of others in general based on what they see/read????

Oh, Ella .... the original wild child ..... so long ago, you were only a twinkle in your mummy's eye

I think people gave you the benefit of the doubt S as they knew you from posting on the threads. You yourself said, you had not looked at the link and were embarrassed by it. So to ask now were we too hasty
I can only speak for myself here and i am older than you, people do not expect people of our age to be virginal or demure but to just have a bit of common sense.
ella1976: i was 17
as Janis Ian would say ..... at 17 .....
Interesting question!
There's a saying - can't remember it exactly - but something to do with seeing ourselves as others see us. It can be very interesting. I've sometimes been amazed and alarmed when told by someone how they perceive me. Anyone else experienced that?
I think that's what you are saying Skinnyminnypink is it?

I missed the whole thinG, whatever it was. Can I still jump to conclusions or am I too late?
17 by Janis Ian? How about The Ballad of Lucy Jordan

That's it in a nutshell .... and it's also the whole process involved in making decisions about people, can be based on your own life experiences and not on anything which they might have done or said or how they look? Making any sense????
