Just saying

This is a forum,do you think you can really judge a person's personality traits from the stuff that anyone writes on here? I mean,you can't possibly believe that can you ? Lol

Whose personality, other than your own, do you suppose is being revealed as you post?

 

[Lyricalli]

Would appreciate the answer to what DL is please,Yossi,so I can understand the comment you made about me.Thanks,muchly.

Some dude posted his ID not long ago, and that's what I assume she's referring to. DL means driver's license, though what he actually posted was his state ID. I remember ridiculous things for no reason.


Also, Que's right: we do reveal things about our personalities when we post. Not all things, of course, but what we post, how we post, are the clues we leave to let people know who we are.

 

[Misshotndeep]

Something.

The whole of the GB is judging you. Weighing you like a fruit in a grocery store. Checking for bruises and blemishes. It's what they do. How they operate. They like to act like some exclusive county club. It's kinda funny to watch. But that is the environment your in. They are dissecting you... Don't take it personally. They aren't.

Don't tell him how to be!

That is an astute observation.

When we think no one knows who we are, we show who we really are.

That is an astute observation.

Possibly unless of course some people are deliberately leaving a 'trail' of bread crumbs, tells, personal info etc.


There are people who come to literotica to escape not only their daily life but who they are to be here who they would like to be in real life that is too scary or not the norm to play out in their real world.

The game of subterfuge is afoot, my dear Watson.

I, myself am who I am. But who am I?

Well said.

There's nothing inherently virtual about one's life online. Even people playing a role and trying to embelish their "reality" reveal a lot by what it is they choose to embellish or to hide.

 

[yossi]

You even got that wrong.

You are my favorite.

This is why compulsive alts do their best to never mention their job or city. They never reveal anything that might link them to their other user names.

This does not apply to medical conditions, but they're careful to never use the same one twice.

I come here because it's like watching fish swim in an aquarium.

Not many people can assume a fake identity and keep all aspects of their real personality separate. There are always cracks Holmes and where there are cracks there will be leakage. (just imagining what Pman would say of he read this lol).

Nobody's including mine.

This,of course,is a topic that is discussed on forums the world over.There will no doubt be clues but they can be weak ones,indeed they sometimes can be compete red herrings to the casual reader.

There is a tacit assumption on most forums that all words written by a poster should be taken at face value.That will be true with some posters and not with others.The clues you get from the latter group are a little harder to get to,but I would concede,they are there,particularly if it is a dickhead like me posting.

Seems a little harsh.

There is some truth in that,for sure.It is not straightforward though.I have some clues about your personality from what I have read,but I wouldn't be so bold as to say they are evenly vaguely accurate and some might just be plain wrong.

I really am not taking it personally.You can be assured of that lol

Absolutely agree with this statement.Wise words,indeed.

I'm a people watcher too. They are fascinating creatures. I like to observe them in their natural habitats while they are unaware I am there.

What you describe is true for some people. There will always be people who post here who are quite good at deceiving others or some who aren't trying to fool anyone but want to play here allowing who they feel is their true persona or character to play at being someone else just for a little while roleplaying or enjoying letting their guard down and being free.

Some, in my observations take on the role here of being an ass hat to get attention or to rile up the gb (if they can) just for fun.

Leakage is a good way to put it. I find that term amusing

If I were to have my personality assessed on Lit., I'd probably ask for Yossi. She looks for the good in people.

 

[butters]

This is a forum,do you think you can really judge a person's personality traits from the stuff that anyone writes on here? I mean,you can't possibly believe that can you ? Lol

given time and across a range of topics, it's often quite possible to get a pretty good idea, yes. unless the person is very good at hiding in plain sight (and most are not, despite their self-belief), they tend to post with their true natures.

it's not so much in the what they post as in the how and when.

personally, i post as myself, no subterfuge, perfectly content in the freedom of being myself; i live this way, too, since escaping a long-term abusive/controlled relationship.

 

[pointless]

look, i'm not saying you ain't pretty. i'm just saying i'm not ready for any person, place or thing to try to pull the reins in on me.

Thanks.....

you're welcome.
