@tennesseejac i think its highly possible that you only get to know the side that comes out… unless you spend enough time on here noting people’s answers and noting characteristics… I don’t think you can keep up a pretense for a long time…especially not on somewhere like here where intrinsic opinions are a prerequisite for expression…..unless of course anyone is that sad to bend their characteristics and opinions to suit one particular person that they are interested in ..or a group of people perhaps…. or maybe people can be that deceptive…
Maybe its not about deception at all and i’m getting it wrong…..?? For example I said i thought they maybe people thought i was uninteresting… (which incidentally i don’t believe that i am uninteresting) but i do think that some people might think that… It could have come across that i was fishing for compliments perhaps… or maybe that i am that insecure genuinely that i think people would think i am boring…
So…maybe its all about intention and interpretation and within those two factors and all the people here and all the possibilities of interaction between all of us…the honest and dishonest people there’s a lot of margin for error i would imagine….
Personally fluther helps me identify my thoughts, knowledge, opinions and beliefs and provides me with a forum to hone them and reveal more things about myself. Sometimes i contemplate the question and what i would like to express and sometimes i just answer off the cuff and totally in the present moment…but it’s still all me
i also think that when it states “lynneblundell is crafting a response” it kind of makes you want it to be a brilliant answer..let alone the lurve factor too….anyway, i’ll shut up now
