What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

[AtramentousRex]

Have you ever tried to light heartedly joke around with someone, but it turns out they are having a real shitty day?

14 years ago my life changed. I will never stop missing my mum.

I’m avoiding temptation. Trying to break bad habits

Good for you!

Me, I just break bad. Bring on temptation!

lol well I might still

 

[ericalauren]

I love fall! It's my favorite time of the year.

 

[Mrtenant]

Fuck another headache

Time for a Litbreak.

I'm thinking about Lit friendships and trust. Should how I define a friend from Lit versus a friend in person be different? Do lies of omission differ from outright lying. Should I be holding folks to the same level of accountability online as I do in person? Does being on Lit as a married person already say all that is needed about someone's trustworthiness? At what point should we expect honesty and how do we know if someone is being honest?

Just regular post lunch thoughts
Oh and this post is edited to add the following-if you are one of the three that will think I'm talking about you-you’re wrong so your trolling will be in vain. also-these are not sad musings. It is just what is rattling in my brain.

I'm sad James Earl Jones passed away today....

Euphemism?... I mean, I'm being hopeful, cos that sounds... dull as fuck. No offense.

I am hoping that “blanch my beans” is something particularly filthy

IMO

I'm thinking about Lit friendships and trust. Should how I define a friend from Lit versus a friend in person be different?

Not to me.
I have friends onit who know more about me than friends in real life.

Do lies of omission differ from outright lying. Should I be holding folks to the same level of accountability online as I do in person?

Yes.
Lies of omission are common place here - like everyone is doing it. You have to accept it as part of the Lit games.
In face to face - it's not acceptable.

Does being on Lit as a married person already say all that is needed about someone's trustworthiness?

Fuck yeah.
I'm married
My wife knows nothing about Literotica.
I'm living a secret LIT life.

At what point should we expect honesty and how do we know if someone is being honest?

Online?
On lit?
Nope.
Let it go.

And they have brought out my cynical side.

And now I'm thinking about “” reacting to @Wriggle

Yes.
Lies of omission are common place here - like everyone is doing it. You have to accept it as part of the Lit games.
In face to face - it's not acceptable.

And this is where I struggle. I don't see why its such a double standard but I think it comes from this

I'm living a secret LIT life.

But then how can you really feel that this can be true?

I have friends onit who know more about me than friends in real life.

You're ok opening up more with a person online who is probably not being truthful with you than someone you know in the flesh?

Edited to say thank you for engaging @Wriggle i value the discourse.

If I added that the bean started off pink and turned purple half way through would that help?

I have concerns.

 

[Wand3rlust]

I'm thinking about Lit friendships and trust. Should how I define a friend from Lit versus a friend in person be different?

For me, no different. If you're my friend, you're my friend. Do I treat you differently just cos I've never met you? No. I'd hope not.

Do lies of omission differ from outright lying.

No. They don't. As someone who has been on the wrong side of this more than once, I cannot tell you how much it damages your trust. I'm not pretending to be a hypocrite though. I'm sure I'm guilty of the same.

Should I be holding folks to the same level of accountability online as I do in person?

For me, it's the same. I mean, the nature of the relationship here is different. But. Behind the usernames, we are still all people. It's easy to forget that....

Does being on Lit as a married person already say all that is needed about someone's trustworthiness?

It depends. Does that one thing define a whole person? Life is complicated. People do what they need to do to make it bearable and themselves happy. No judgement from me.

At what point should we expect honesty and how do we know if someone is being honest?

I don't know the answer to this.

 

[ShaneoD]

I have concerns.

They were real beans, I ran out of ice earlier

 

[AmberLGreen]

Now I am thinking if my bean turns purple half way through. Would stopping to get a mirror be considered as edging?

 

[crazychemgirl]

They were real beans, I ran out of ice earlier

I still have concerns.

 

[ShaneoD]

I still have concerns.

I'm a single man, I have to blanch my own stuff

 

[Photog1rl]

For me, no different. If you're my friend, you're my friend. Do I treat you differently just cos I've never met you? No. I'd hope not.

I could not agree with you more and yet people twist and lie and claim that it is not the same until they believe it and if you say you expect or deserve honesty you are being foolish.
How can it be so different for people?

It depends. Does that one thing define a whole person? Life is complicated. People do what they need to do to make it bearable and themselves happy. No judgement from me.

I also agree with this. I am on Lit but also try to be as straightforward as I can. Do I make mistakes sure. We are all human. Do I own them, also yes. I offered this up because I've tried to figure out how some folks defend lies of omission and since Lit is often a lie or omission it seemed like it might connect

I don't know the answer to this.

Neither do I and therein lies the rub.
Thank you for your thoughts @Wand3rlust you strike me as funny and with snark but also direct with what you say.
