How Have You Changed?

[Ambrosious]

Since you first came to Literotica. Some of us USED to be pretty cool, but are no more. Some of us USED to be shy, but are no more. Some of us USED to be tolerant, but, sadly, are no more. How about YOU? How have you changed, and is it a change for the better?

 

[Shylady]

I am not as shy and naive as I used to be.

I don't think that I have changed with regard to what or how I post here on the board. If I have changed, I hope it is for the better. I will leave that to others to decide. I have met some very interesting people & gotten some good advice. At first, like many people, I posted too much, I hope my posts have improved over time.

I am still shy. Yes I am pretty forward in some of my posts and I have a high post total but I also only post with a few posters. Not because I do not like the other posters but that is my real life flowing over into here.

I find it very hard to approach people I do not know and will rarely do it but once I know you I am very out going.


(Also Lil-Brandi's monster thread has really added to my post total, I am addicted to that thread.)

I've changed..... my underwear, my dentist, my god daugters diaper, my mind.

Changing as a result of this board suggests one of two things to me.

You didn't know who you were to begin with (don't mean that in a negative way) or you have become a construct.

I have changed. Big time. I am still too trusting, but less naive than I was a few months ago. I am working on the "too trusting" part. As for naive- see my MM snake thread for the worst example.

 

[KillerMuffin]

I've become a Lasher, only with bigger tits and less of a potty mouth.

I've been humbled and that annoys me.

I've been villified and that tittilates me.

I've been considered sexy and that flummoxes me.

I've made friends and that gladdens me.

I've made enemies (I think) and that challenges me.

I have a high post total because not only do I have a lot to say, I say it. I've only posted on Lil-Brandi's monster a few times. Was this important? I didn't know if it were important. I type fast too and don't use the cut and paste method so I have more time to blither.

Nope. No change. I'm still me. Still a little hesitant about sharing my opinion. Not because I'm shy, but because I believe what I think is valuable and I don't share that with just anyone on just anything. Still just want to be liked. Still don't like to hurt people. Still go to church. Still call my mom every couple of days. Still horny as hell.
Only thing that's different is I got a whole bunch of cool new friends

 

[CreamyLady]

I have a thicker skin.

I let people see my work.

We all change, though. Each new interaction or experience with another changes us in some way, we evolve a different response, a different way of seeing, and we proceed with that until the next new person or experience.

How can anyone stay the same?

I agree with CreamyLady here. How can anyone really stay the same? People's personalities are about 75% genetic and the other 25% is made up of experience... therefore a lot of "who" you are is a construct of your environment. It's true that most of your very basic traits are fixed by your late teens, but if you are involved with certain things on a long-term basis, they will change you.

So then, If you're spending time here every day, or even just every other day or so, you're personality has to have been affected.

For my own part, I have changed. I've become so much more open (not literally!) about my sexuality because I have seen that sex is actually a good, positive part of life and not some horrible thing to be kept literally in the dark.

I've also become a lot more picky about who I date. I see now that there are men who give a shit about a woman's happiness and I won't settle for anything less.

But the biggest change has to be because of the whole fake ID/ticket incident (see WHY ARE ALL COPS SUCH ASSHOLES thread). It is true that a lot of the change came from RL sources, but they only "solidified" when you guys let me have it when I told you what had happened and how I felt. You made me realize (even though I was PISSED OFF, I still realized) that you were right and that I really needed to grow up... 'specially you Gaucho.

I know most of you don't know me (and probably won't since I'll never rack up any fruitful or frequent poster miles), but I have learned a lot from you all nonetheless...

So guys, for all this and much more I'm sure, THANK YOU!

I don't trust as easily, I don't open up as easily, I have learnt to not take what is said to me with so much heart and I have learnt to ignore.

Not sure if that is for the better or not, but you know, I now come here a little happier. If someone puts me down I couldn't give a shit, I am after all just on a computer and they do not know me.

I don't spend half as long here, and when I do I only open thread topics that I think will interest me.

I still love coming here, I just don't put so much of my heart into it anymore.
