Yes, we've read your profile, and you have read ours!

But what didn't you tell us??? What are we holding back?

Even in the threads...do we really speak our minds, or do we present an unrealistic view of ourselves?

Some are so sweet and perfect ALL the Time!!. Don't you ever have bad days????

Some are buttholes ALL the time(ME), never a great day??


When will we be at ease with ourselves to let people see the real US???



Just a thought

Its all just so many assumptions Ship, even with lots of people we know in real life - they assume and many never take the time to actually get affirmations - and even if they do ask, the questions are slewed in favour of affirming their assumptions........ laugh

Lots of people think they do and then tell me about it.. I like to call it feedback, ( a good thing) even if they dont have a freaking clue.

Their eyes, their clues.. dunno

We can only truly know ourselves. Other people only see aspects of us based on their perception and experience and what we show or tell them, and since we are all self-serving, that will be different things to different people in different sets of circumstances. It's part of being human and fallible!

honest I dont think even our mothers know the real you.
We all have secrets that we would never share with anyone, no matter how much we were in love.
I think that it is human nature not to fully speak your mind as you dont
or shouldn't want to make others feel bad on purpose.
If your having a bad day Its OK to express it . Its just not right to make others feel bad because you do.
I see nothing wrong with being a butt hole, to me you would be protecting yourself for whatever your reasons. I also believe that even the butt holes have a nice person inside somewhere they just dont want anybody to see it.

This "EXACT" thought has been rolling around in my devious little mind for 2 or 3 days. I am planning a thread about "ME", any bets on how many have the courage to do the same?wink

Old saying, we are only as sic as our secrets. Long ago I tired of being sic, did an inventory of "MY" shortcomings and confessed to God, myself & another human being. What a concept.

Now I must do this..rolling on the floor laughing I have nothing to hide, no expectations and the belief that if another cannot/willnot accept me as I am, it is their lose..grin

I always tell the truth no matter how hard it is, I was just brought up that way, maybe some do not know about my evil side but it stays hidden most of the time.

Yeah.. people think I'm always happy and jolly.. (same with the people in my RL) But I'm not.. I have plenty of bad days where I'm in a crappy/low mood and I can barely see the light at the end of the tunnel..

I try to not let it show when things are bothering me.. but that is exactly the same as I do in RL anyway.. (my marriage taught me that)

Keeping 'chipper' keeps me 'Floating' as opposed to sinking on a bad day.. Whack on a smile, and talk my way out of it.

I am probably a little 'cooler' in RL.. because (like my Zodiac thing says).. I do pretend that nothing bothers me or fazes me.. (self protection - which I still cant shake off)

But tbh.. I'm probably often the MOST bothered.. I just won't show it.. Just like you Ship.. laugh

I letvery few people see how much something upsets/bothers me. (same in RL) I just get very very quiet. It takes a lot for me to step forward and cross the line. (despite how it may appear) haha.


I do think I present a realistic view of myself.. but I also know there is a lot I don't say, because I can't bear confrontation and bad feeling.

But that too, is just the same as I am in RL.

sometimes we perceive truths differently than others do. There is a lady on this site, that probably knows me better than I do. She seldom posts. We are karaoke buddies and hand out quite a bit together, but just as karaoke buddies.

I am sure, that she sees something different in me, than what I see. But since she is my friend, I don't have to out up defences or walls!!
