I know a lot of us here share information about ourselves, family and friends...but, what is just TOO personal to share with those here? What would you feel too vunerable about sharing?

The truth that exposes our insides and what we truly are deep down, not the org persona but the real inner self, the one even we find hard to accept.

That what you mean?

I'm not sure... my line on what I'll share constantly changes, I think, but I wear my heart on my sleave so there's not a lot I don't share here

No, Phil, it's not, actually.

applekisses said:

Phil?

Well I'm not going to fucking share it on this thread, am I?

applekisses said:

huh?

SPILL IT!

7in9 said:

Ohh..well, I must be mistaking you for someone else...my bad...

And to answer your question, that's not what I meant, really...there are many of us here who do not hide behind a "persona" and are honest in our interactions with people here. I was speaking of specific life events.

applekisses said:

Well in that case for me it would be mostly family stuff.

My phone number / address.

7in9 said:

I see...

i think there is a lot that is too personal to share with people from the internet


maybe i just don't trust some of you

applekisses said:

Ok, probably my true feelings for most of you.

Spookymuffin said:

Do you think that comes out in your interactions with people, though?

Spookymuffin said:

Is that good or bad.

I don't know... I think in certain circumstances I might be more prone to share things here than I would in real life, but then I know so many folks here in real life too... I think I share maybe different things here, but no more or less...

Well... I'm pretty much open about a lot of things and I do share a lot of stuff with people buuuuut I probably would not go into detail about fetish on the .org

applekisses said:

i skip those threads.

CarrieMpls said:

I think it's similar for me...but, then again, there's the thought that people who aren't responding to your threads are still seeing them...so you're really sharing info with them too.

it all depends on the relationship you have. some people i trust more than others

applekisses said:

Oh yeah. I try to keep in mind no matter what goes out here, there's a record for all the world to see, if anyone bothered to look.

CarrieMpls said:

I totally forget that...all the time...

purplerein said:

But, what about in open forums? That includes everyone...plus, all the people who don't respond, but read the thread.

applekisses said:

i lurked for a while, how many others are still lurking?

kinda scary when you think about it

A few weeks ago a non orger contacted me on myspace to get advice on a thread I started in 2004 (she googled her problem and found my thread)

So Im starting to be more cautious of what I talk about online

longtime orgers: is it easy to become too "familiar" with your online surroundings?
