Posting from a friend..... OPEN OR SHUT

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

My friend is too shy to post but they asked me if I could do it for them because they're scared nobody will reply, which absolutely isn't true because they have tits, beautiful big ones!

So anyway, here goes, copy and pasted as follows:

Open or shut

Are you an open book? Do you freely discuss every aspect of your life on here,the good , the bad and the ugly.or are you guarded and closed off to most? Do you think some people share too much of their troubles and in doing so can appear almost too vulnerable for a site such as this? Or the people who don't share much and keep to themselves,do they come across as cold and and distant, not someone who you would interract with?

Trust is thrown around on here,to be a major factor in who we meet.But how much trust do you give someone,when it comes to revealing too much about yourselves that could be used as a weapon against you.

From anonymous

So please be kind and reply with respect and give her the courage to post for herself and enjoy the forum just like all you ugly lot do.

Many thanks, much love and peace

My response would be that I'm an open book with the ppl I want to be open with and who matter to me. I don't really have much to hide tbh, I probably tell too much about my private life, my girl etc but thats what matters to me so why would I hide it?

I do however see a fuck load of "victims" seeking attention for what I often don't believe are genuine reasons, often using fake trauma etc which I find pretty sick, so I just avoid that type and interact with those who I feel I fit with and who being something to my experience.... ....but I'm a cynic, innit

I don't think people reply to forum posts just because an invisible OP has big tits. They reply because of the content of the post.

I have been around these forums (probably for too long) and some people could be deemed as over-sharers, I guess, but if it sits well with them, then the forums can be a great place for support of the genuinely in need.

Those who turn out to be charlatans though, taking the forums for fools do eventually get hoisted by their own petard.

The banter is my main place of residence, I actively avoid controversy, as its got me into hot water with the mods, more than a few times x

I'm usually careful about how much I reveal in case I'm too identifiable (unless I'm pissed),but I do worry to a certain extent about the vulnerability of some people to potential predators, which sadly this site (like all others) isn't immune.

Ive shared plenty on here in the past that may have flagged me up to people with less than noble intentions, but they soon out themselves as up to no good. There is very little chance of me meeting most on here so I dont mind being a bit open about certain things as I can stay fairly anonymous.

It all depends on the reciever. While I try to live my life as transparent as possible, there are times I need to hold back on what I say to others. Eg. My professional life! However I am mostly transparent with people who are in the inner circle of my life. Does that answer that your question, OP?

Yep, I think fab forums can be a safe little space for some folk. Or at least that's how they might view it. That's both good and bad - some ppl just make up a persona quite happily and talk bollocks, some might use it too clear their head and work through their troubles, but others can use it to exploit ppls vulnerability....

I'm probably less open than I have been in the past, and likely to stay that way, self preservation perhaps.

I dont ever quite feel the need to unburden in a way that works for others, but then I've always been self contained, a keeper of others secrets and one of the so called lurkers who reads more than posts.

Perhaps it's that I need to trust before I become comfortable sharing anything too personal other than with those I know I can trust...and once that trust is broken...

I generally don’t post anything personal or identifiable, occasionally I will mention something that I guess if you knew me in person, you would be able to identify me.

I also don’t over share emotionally on here or privately to others. I am naturally a private person and I don’t show my feelings/emotions freely with people I don’t know or trust...regardless of whether I met them on here or somewhere else.

It depends on the topic. One to one I'm more open once I get to know them the loopy crazy me comes out and cant stop making peolle laugh with or at me.

Some people are too open and over the top making them seem desperate for attention or making everything about them and just want to avoid any such post they make.

But atm I'm not on/posting much as work nights so atm it doesnt bother me as much as if I was on all hours of the day

I'm an open book on fab. I'm talking to people that don't know me and anything I say to them won't effect my life on anyway. The rest of my life is closed book. So it's refreshing to just be able to say exactly what you are thinking without any come back. People that don't like you can move on and others stick around. I love being able to be myself of fab and not hide behind what society expects of me

"It depends on the topic. One to one I'm more open once I get to know them the loopy crazy me comes out and cant stop making peolle laugh with or at me.

Some people are too open and over the top making them seem desperate for attention or making everything about them and just want to avoid any such post they make.

But atm I'm not on/posting much as work nights so atm it doesnt bother me as much as if I was on all hours of the day "

Working = shagging, right?

Tbh, people do share to much on here or is a lot of it just bravado ?

As my profile says, discreet .. if some one wants to get to know me, then that’s is private ... u can’t make true friends via a keyboard ... yes u can make the odd fb .. and if it starts a relationship then great, but in the ole.. it’s just another social media platform ..

I’d say I’m pretty open with everyone at the beginning, extremely open and supportive if I like you and a hell of a bitch if I don’t.

Do you think the ppl who don't agree with you actually move on though or are they still seething at you behind their screens?

Totally open to anyone who's interested enough to ask.

Forums have a small cadre of judgemental participants, which is sad, but they are readily ignored, and your friend should have no fear of speaking here.

I see you as having changed a bit over the time I've known you. You're wiser to fab and the forums and you appear more cautious now. I've always liked you and your comments and quick wittedness, and your bum..... x

I'm pretty much like you OP, a very closed book apart from with those close to me...those people know pretty much everything about me and I'd answer any question they asked me, but there are very few people I'm close to.

It does make me cringe a bit when I see some of the bare all threads on here, and I do sometimes think that they are attention seeking. But if that's how people are comfortable being then that's perfectly fine, I'll just skip to another thread

I used to be a more prolific poster on here, as I have probably been here 12 years now.

I felt daunted when I first joined, I then became an open book and found the more I learned about people and their behaviours, I knew I detested liars and bull shitters, so I have since regressed as others have seeked their notoriety as trying to be the more popular posters on here, such as how often they can be named the most in the 'kiss, fuck, ignore' or 'FAF' threads, And I can vouch I have never posted on any such thread in my life.

So now, if I do post it's either a truth seeking thread, which I will post my truth or call out the shite sometimes clever enough to not earn a holiday and others times, I may post to close to the mark that other don't like, so I like to think I'm an open book but I have also learned that others have their own agenders, in which case I keep my mouth shut, as they really are not worth making the comment in the first place!

No once it’s broken I’m done. I have become very good at completely cutting people from my life to protect my heart.

I am the same I trust people very easily as I don’t think that how someone else treats you should determine how you view another.

I'm pretty open and just me. But this is an open forum with a huge mix of people who aren't my 'tribe'. I'm fairly thick skinned and am not too bothered about what people think of me.. and I'm happy to let people be, whether I agree with them or not. I find it interesting and eye opening sometimes what/who/how people are.

I'm secure enough in my world and friendships to be open. I trust that the ones who are drawn in as friends and connections will find me.

People will get what they want from this site. We are all just human and there's a fine mix of sorted, funny, misunderstood, messy, immature, open, evolved, angry, experienced, intelligent, not so intelligent, deep, daft, informative, needy, passive aggressive, manipulative, triggered, kind, debating, argumentative, sensitive, insensitive, interesting, humorous, supportive, wise folk .. it's all here and I kinda like that. It's real.

I just let what I don't have capacity for go past.

There are some guys I Mrs. Have chatted & we have met with who are vulnerable & seemingly looking for a relationship, which obviously can happen on here..some of who have posted on the Forums (not this thread though). One asked how he could get women to be interested enough to reply to him..he was too much of an open book about his life, I suggested inserting humour was good & to chat about things on the profiles he was interested in etc...however all his statuses say either how depressed he is,or that he doesn't get any replies..

Some people just aren't good with conversation and charming others and so they often beg for sympathy as an alternative attention, and some ppl also LOVE a sad story too and will listen and fall for it!

I have a sad ish past and I find when ppl find out about it they can almost instantly fall for me, when that's not what I want, so often I keep things to myself....

Your young man was right! I think I have a gift for seeing bullshit and every day in here I'm like "really, have ppl gone for this?"

"Tbh, people do share to much on here or is a lot of it just bravado ?

As my profile says, discreet .. if some one wants to get to know me, then that’s is private ... u can’t make true friends via a keyboard ... yes u can make the odd fb .. and if it starts a relationship then great, but in the ole.. it’s just another social media platform ..

I still reckon it's a community

Sorry op, it’s a plastic one, not all, there are a few gens on here but the majority.. no.. negative I know, but after ten years and a wise old fella, plastic drowns the ocean.. good luck to all that feel that it’s a community and give them a form of solace, then who am I to question that..

It didnt stop you yesterday. I was really disappointed by your comments then."

It's a Nippy/Skippy thread, be nice

"There are some guys I Mrs. Have chatted & we have met with who are vulnerable & seemingly looking for a relationship, which obviously can happen on here..some of who have posted on the Forums (not this thread though). One asked how he could get women to be interested enough to reply to him..he was too much of an open book about his life, I suggested inserting humour was good & to chat about things on the profiles he was interested in etc...however all his statuses say either how depressed he is,or that he doesn't get any replies.. I really don't think Fab is the place for him just my opinion....

Some people just aren't good with conversation and charming others and so they often beg for sympathy as an alternative attention, and some ppl also LOVE a sad story too and will listen and fall for it!

I have a sad ish past and I find when ppl find out about it they can almost instantly fall for me, when that's not what I want, so often I keep things to myself.... "

I agree, I just worry & have told him to be careful as there are some horrible people around who would take advantage...

My past isn't brilliant either but that is kept private & only shared with trusted friends & family.

I myself am fairly confident, & we are told when we have met guys it's lovely & refreshing to meet someone who is just as they come across on Fab

Your friend should post OP! If she knows everyone and everything, I'm sure she wouldn't be intimidated by doing so - people who use the fora aren't that bad even though some of your posts would suggest otherwise.

As far as the OP goes - I'm fairly closed, I tend to compartmentalise fab and those on the site the majority of the time. I think if people find support from opening up about what they're going through etc, fair enough; I'm not going to lambast anyone who chooses to. Of course there are folk who will lie/manipulate to try and gain sympathy but I don't know. I'm going to remain trusting and hopeful of people as a whole In my many years on here, there's only been a handful of people I've truly opened up to - two who know everything about me. So maybe hopeful but wary when it comes to my own personal life.

I think the fact you've posted this on behalf of your friend might be something they regret if they ever reveal themselves.

I don't share anything personal on the forum. I think that's just prudent on a platform like this

Fair as ever Meli

Have a word with Skippy!

I'm getting better at just ignoring when ppl aren't really going through what they say they're going through and letting them he on with it. The forum is a place filled with folk of mixed abilities I guess and in a way that makes it....

I don't get why anyone would put personal stuff on a public forum. Some come across as so vulnerable it's just asking to be taken advantage of. You see it a lot. I don't know if they're stupid or just naive or hopefully just making stuff up for dramatic effect.
