I don't think it matters why they're lying. If they're lying for any of those three reasons, we're still not going to be able to get to know the real them. Do you think that's not true?

no idea if I am a what u see is what u get person

I am not easy to be close to so perhaps eventually I am that way

but I think many people are not sure what they are seeing when they see me, and I agree with them. I am not sure of that eitherlaugh


If you're unsure of yourself here and don't know if you're really being yourself, others won't be able to either.

I am a very confident person however I am much quieter in person than what I would seem like on here. I think that might surprise anyone who actually met me

nothing you meed concern yourself with, thanks

Unfortunately, people do lie. If they're being honest, then yes, you can get to know someone by reading what they write depending on what they write.


What about people who tell lies fully intending to lead the other person on for whatever reason ...to humiliate...to get kicks..... to gain information???


What about them? Obviously, if they're lying, you're not going to get to know them.


You're so hard on him...:smile:


No, I'm not. I'm asking him what he means, just like I'd ask anyone else.


Your quest for clarity can be a bit intense and seem personalised at times Singme.

I can say this from having been on the receiving end when I first joined the site. I remember feeling singled out and every post/thread scrutinised. I didn’t know whether it was my British colloquialisms that you weren’t getting or something else...

I now know that your comments ARE NOT malicious or personal...it just felt that way at the time flowerforyou .

I sympathise because I know my words can sometimes be misinterpreted/taken the wrong way.

I've explained many times that I ask everyone questions. You're not being singled out or treated differently than anyone else. Neither is Optimistic. There's not much else I can do to get that across to people and I'm not going to change the way I do things. Hopefully, people will figure out that they're not being singled out. Some choose not to believe that for some reason.

And that's why I ask questions. I'd rather ask and get clarification, rather than assuming things.

I know. But if you have been the victim of assumptions and lies the way I have recently,you would find it wonderful to know there is at least one person that won't do that.

I know that now..I didn't at the time.

One thing I have learned from personal experience is that other people are not used to someone being 'that' direct with them. You can't people to accept you as you warts and all.

Maybe I'm reading more into Optomistic's flowers etc and the end of every message to you...IDK

People who get to know me do not have an issue with the way I do things. It's only the people who have not gotten to know me.

Plus, some people on here are very sensitive and assume everything is personal in the forums, when it's often not.

I'm not sure what the deal with the flowers are either. They're just smilies. I didn't take them as meaning anything more.

I've been the other victim Betty.

I alway seem to be on the 'wrong' end of other people's assumptions.

Yes, you often go around in circles, which is why I've asked you to clarify what you meant and to be direct. It works much better when you say what you mean, rather than talking in circles.
