my husband tells me that ppl on the internet are fake and lie. He says they pretend to be something they are not...


So- I am sort of perplexed...

divorce him!

it is true that some people put on false impressions.....if you need a friend and someone to chat with...i will be your friend.

funny u mention that...

there's no use arguing with people who already have reserved thoughts about internet people.. (i know...i fight with my parents all the time about it )

but you know u have friends here, the people you've trusted thus far will continue to be here for you, you know that and that's all the support you need

Thank you SammiJ

I know that our loved ones only want to protect us but sometimes we need love & support not judgement and warning...

Yes- I realize that some ppl do that but it happens in person too - even knowing someone in real life does not mean they are not being fake.
I am just tired of the lectures...

exactly...and i have it a touch harder than u so i know exactly how it is

shanti0608 said:

and i think that's what people are failing to realize...that everyone lies...and it's up to you to make the call on who you trust, online or in person

SammiJ said:

I am sure you do considering your situation. I also care about someone deeply that I know from the internet and I am sick of being told the friendship I have is not real because we met over the computer.

shanti0608 said:

the computer is a medium of communication just like the phone....
if i talk on the phone to someone far away, does that mean they're not real? that's what people are implying when they go down that argument path...

and i admitt, i wasn't into meeting people off the net before, i was just as skeptical as my parents...but really, being on this site has caused me to make so many new friendships that wouldn't have been possible here in my sad lil city
and the love i found was totally random, which is why i cherish it even more


the most i can say is you really gotta fight for what you believe in...because no one else is going to fight it for you

SammiJ said:

Thanks SammiJ! That means a lot to me to hear you say that- it helps!!!

I feel the same way you do about the phone and I do talk to this person that I care for on the phone and it is the same. I know what you mean about the random part. I just get tired of ppl trying to break my heart..
Gets old after a while. Time to stand up for myself and do what make ME happy for a change!

shanti

Same goes for you!!!

I'm here too I am real

shanti0608 said:

You remember my last orgnote, right??...It still holds true. *smile*

shanti0608 said:

now that's the spirit!!

charlottegelin said:

See- and that is my point- there are real ppl here- I know that...
Thanks!

shanti0608 said:

I'm sure the majority are. If I have a problem I am happy to ask for advice here, knowing that a good 80% of opinions and comments are genuine - other folks just like ourselves there will always be idiots, which there are in real life too, and they can easily be ignored.

If I was fake, don't think I would be more interesting?

All the friends that I have met on here have been genuine so far.

Unfortunally, your husband is right to an extent, however he is speaking generally and sterotipically. What I have found about this particular website is that the percentages between "normal real" and "fake illusionary" people is very good.

Thank you Byron- You are a genuine sweetheart

Nonono.
I was a fake. Didn't you notice I was deflatable?

Mick G's answer was exactly what I was going to say. You're going to have your fair share of fakes and liars, but, just like in real life, there are diamonds in the rough.


Actually, I'm a 500 pound woman named Bertha.
