Confessions: What Are Yours?

ICT I'm silly for falling for someone online
I don't think that's silly at all. I am biased because I have fallen in love over the internet a few times.

Psychologically speaking love is an emotion we feel depending on where our head is at; not simply because of the actions of another. Our heads affect our capacity to feel any emotion. If you have strong empathy and are receptive to loving words, then why wouldn't you feel love for the person you communicate with?

From personal experience of going from online to offline, prior feelings of love, safety, lust are a powerful motivator. When I met someone a decade ago, I was really nervous and felt little connection to the person in front of me.

Then he spoke. A flood of emotions followed and I felt safe and loved.

People who think that online relationships can never be as real because of the technology barrier fail to notice one key aspect. The people on each side of the web are, well, people. They are humans with human desires and emotions. They have dreams and fears.

Its that ignorance that i work to fight in my day job as I teach professionals and children about internet safety.
 
I have a pretty fun confession.

ICT I wrote something and I'm now looking for a publisher!

Fun? Freakin' awesome! :D

I hope the search goes well. I sent some material off late last year and I'm still getting rejections. I'm fine with it; just thinking at some point past their deadline of responses, you'd think they would presume you already knew it was a no ;) I'm already 15k into my next project - no water on my wings :D
 
ICT- it's hard to feel special (for lack of a better word) on a web site like this, when half the people you talk to are telling everyone else they talk to, the same things they tell you. It's kinda sad actually.
IACT- That makes me miss the ones that I know are genuine and not just telling me what they think I want to hear. :(
I hope you know that mine are truly sincere. I do understand what you're saying, though.
 
Welcome back to Lit. I know what you mean about the job. I'm kind of in a similar situation and it took me a long time to find mine. I'm honored that you chose this thread to express your feelings. On your relationship, sometimes the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence. We seem to always think life could be better. With all I've gone through this past year or so, I've learned even more to cherish what I have and appreciate every moment. I hope that things get better. I know it's hard to stay strong until they do, though.

I wouldn't say it's really a 'grass is always greener' situation, exactly. I know what a good thing I have, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. She's everything I've ever wanted. I suppose most of it is age and its affect on hindsight. Getting ready to start the 3rd decade in my life has caused me to look back, though I know it's one of the worst things a person can do, and wonder if perhaps I should have taken more chances when I was still young enough to have them. It really is a situation of "it's not you, it's me". Either way, she's stuck with me, 'cause I sure as hell am not going anywhere.
Besides, regardless of my occasional feelings about the sex, it's usually pretty damned good- surprisingly so, in fact, given how poorly my past experiences fared, and how much more experience she has than me. I'm vanilla- she isn't. I still satisfy her though. In the vein of the thread, I'll confess that yesterday I had her practically biting chunks out of the wall I had her pressed against until she couldn't stand anymore, and it was a good hour afterwards before she could walk a straight line...

Hey, stranger. Nice to see you here. As someone pointed out earlier, we all have things we keep to ourselves. I will say you can trust me but I know that's not the same.


I love this. Still happy as an adult, though.
 
Going way back to my late teens, early 20s here. I had a thing for DJs. There was a local one who had the sexiest, smoothest voice. I called the request line and chatted with him. I met him soon after that. He was twice as old as me. We became fuck buddies. Back then, I was really vanilla and didn't have much experience. He was a swinger and wanted me to go to a party with him. I didn't go. ICT I regret not going. I could have opened this world so much earlier. If only I knew then what I know now. Thank goodness for Lit or I'd still be in the dark.

ICT I never had listeners like you back in my on air days.
