...What's so hard about it? After the whole Tantanah fiasco, I've been thinking. Especially on-line, honesty seems so easy to me. I have never been anything but completely honest with people. Why be otherwise?

...I am really not understanding this right now, so please discuss...
 
I'm with you on this one. Treat how you wish to be treated.

I guess for some, honesty is too big a revelation, it means that they are seen for who they are. They may not even be bad people, perhaps there own self image is so low they have to put on a show. These kinds of people need reassurance in themselves to bring their level up.....

Let's hope the dishonest take heart from the things that have happened here and realise they will be extremely lonely should they wish to continue with their charade.

:rose:
 
I don't understand deliberate dishonesty, done with the intent to fuck with people's minds.

I do understand the temptation, with the anonymity of the Internet, to portray yourself as younger/thinner/richer/sexier, whatever.

I think people start out with the idea, "what does it matter? this is who I really am inside, who I want to be, and no one is going to find out differently."

How different is that from RL, where some folks have a job resume that resembles fiction more than anything else?

The problem online, I think, is that it can go too far. And the person gets caught up in it. Before they know it, they are supposed to be meeting someone. Someone who has a completely inaccurate vision of who they are about to meet.

Then, panic. How do you explain that you are 10 years older, 75 pounds heavier, and poorer and less educated? So people vanish from the Net, or come up with a bigger lie. And people get hurt.

I'm not saying that is what happened with Tantanah, or with anyone else who has been shown to be deceptive. I don't know Tantanah, and certainly wouldn't presume to explain her motivation.

It's just one scenario. A sad one at best. Because it's terribly sad to be that uncomfortable with yourself. And it's terribly sad to be the person deceived, and suddenly to be doubting your own perceptions and feeling like a fool.

I am only speaking as an observer here. For me, being honest online and in person is the only option. I am way too lazy to remember "what lies have I told today."

Plus, there's no percentage in it. This is me. You don't like me? Your loss. If I send you my picture, it's me. And the picture was taken in recent memory. No, I'm not Helen of Troy. And yeah, I'm round and cuddly and padded *G*.

And, should we ever choose to meet in person, or talk on the web cam, nobody will be getting any unpleasant surprises.
 
Bump for the afternoon crowd...and Unregistered, that was a very honest reply...:)
 
I have the same feelings about the whole thing kidthor....Obviously there is no need to post your life story online....But there are those who even one on one are dishonest....Tantanah was not the first, she unfortunately will not be the last....:rolleyes:
 
...It's sad that there are people who are either afraid to show their real selves, or are just plain cruel enough to feel the need to mess with other people...I just do not get it...
 
Dont know what this is about, but I try my best to be honest with everyone here at lit, and in r/l

I don't understand what motivates people to do a lot of what they do, being duplicitous is just one thing. But whatever, that's what karma's for, dude ;)
