I don’t have a SO now, but when I joined Fluther, I did. There was nothing in this world that would’ve compelled me to tell him that I had a support system, a sphere, an escape hatch on the internet.
I don’t talk about Fluther with my friends or family, other than my son. It’s, again, my escape hatch and am leery about sharing it.
I have certain friends who would love Fluther, but they’re not as nice about Deaf issues as I am and would not self-censor to keep things pleasant like I do. Regardless of how I’m treated by some jellies, I tend to choose the “explaining” path, while some of my friends would not grant the offensive comments that kind of courtesy. I’d love to have them here but because of some of the comments here… I’d be instigating a war by inviting them. Not worth it.
So I’m happily mostly anonymous here!
