I usually say what I actually think, here as in real life I try to be as honest as possible. Sometimes, I will say more in the forums, especially when someone asks my opinion, than I would in casual conversation in real life. I'm quite outgoing for an introvert and being Irish, I'm remarkably charming in person.:wink:


Do you have that gorgeous Irish brogue?

Same, I am an introvert/extrovert, but I need time to recharge as an empath. People can drain me or influence me with their moods.
Happy Mingling :rose::heart::smiley:

I lost that when I started school here about the age of five. Ah well, can't have everything I suppose.:slight_smile: I know what you mean by being drained by others, that's why I'm often quiet for a while on the forums, especially after encountering scepticism or out and out insult.:laughing:

I think people-myself included-highlight their
positives and discount their negatives if mentioning them at all.
Nobody is perfectly honest in a job interview
or on a date.

Don't lump everyone in to your way of thinking. I never lied in a job interview or on a date.

You mean honest to a fault with a dry-black-mocking humor? Yeah, that's me. Although I do tend to utilize language slightly different depending on whom I'm talking with.

When I write an answer to a specific question or comment here in the forums I tend to keep it more general, because it is read by several people, even those that might not even write something. So it's not always geared specifically to the person that I am answering to, because it's written with all kinds of people in mind.
In a personal conversation many things of course can get a lot more specific or deeper and a lot more private issues can be shared, in a way that the forum setting here doesn't allow.

Otherwise, what you see or read is what you get. I do not change my viewpoint, beliefs, character or who I am just because of different settings or people or environment....

In real life I often freely express myself with no thought to terms and conditions and rules and not upsetting people.
I upset them. I get mis interpreted, or I'm to abrupt, or people don't like to hear the truth when they ask for it. laugh

I hear you. People actually really like me in real life. But I have to tone it down somewhat for the forums.

I find no reason to lie initially, because if you get into a relationship with someone, you can only keep up that pretense for so long, then the real you comes out, so...better to be real and authentic from the start...
