How honest are you on the bump (clicky)?

Just curious...

I don't have the time or desire to be dishonest on here or IRL.  I'm not divulging all my personal info, but I don't misrepresent either.  I think that's just creepy and/or pathetic.  Unless you meant something else with this question?

I am my real self here - probably more real that IRL because I keep a lot more of my thoughts to myself IRL.  For some reason, on here, I feel like saying everything I am thinking and arguing my POV more than I ever bother doing IRL.  I think the lack of real repercussions (I'm not going to lose the respect of people who mean a lot to me) is what makes me do so.  

With the exception of my name not being Susan or Mosley, all facts I have put out there are real...is that what you mean?

I agree with Susan that sometimes it's easier to be your real self on here because you don't have to worry about what people IRL think of you.

And, like Susan my real name isn't Liz.

sophie206

My name isn't Sophie, either. But that's about it.

That's what I mean!  And I always wondered if your name was actually Susan Mosley : )

The only way I misrepresent myself is by my daughter's birthday.  Only because I don't want someone to figure out who I am.  But it is only off by a few days.  Oh, and my name is not Mrs. Firefly, though that would be a pretty great name.

Damn - you're right, Mrs. Firefly would be a super name.

I am without a doubt more honest on here. No one in our lives know how we live financially I have been very honest about our debt free lifestyle on here, I feel like money changes things and people dont need to know our specifics, however I am honest about it on here to help others.

It sounds like the long lost cousin of Mrs. Doubtfire.

Thanks!  And it would be even better if everywhere I went people called me it.  "Oh, hello Mrs. Firefly, how can I help you?"  "Mrs. Firefly, would you like more coffee?"  But people just don't talk like that these days.

This. There are plenty of topics where I choose not to respond, but I would never take the time to respond with lies. That's kind of bizarre to me.

I do not share our financial information on here because it's nobody's business and I would never want that kind of personal info out there on a public message board.  Otherwise, what you see is who I really am.  I don't see the point in not being anything but yourself.  Who has the time/energy for that?

I am completely anonymous, so I am honest.

I'd have nothing to gain by lying/exaggerating. It's not like anyone knows who I am IRL.

This. I'm not going to participate in a thread if I feel the need to lie in my answer.

Alright, alright......you're on to me. My REAL name ISN'T Jetskreemr! There, I said it, feel better now?

;^)

EveryNameIWantIsTaken

I'm honest about who I am and what I'm about, but I do often hold back my true opinions on some things, mainly on disagreeing with people because it just isn't worth the time imo.
