For almost 3 years now I've been part of the general board here at literotica.com. But I haven't portrayed myself in an honest manner. While some of the stories and experiences I've related to you have been based on fact, most of them have been... lies. Let me try to explain.

On here, I have the persona of the perpetual loser. I've portrayed myself as a misfit, who's lack of social graces (especially when it comes to the opposite sex) and low self self esteem seem you can't help but find at slightly endearing. If you hadn't, I wouldn't have stuck with this farce for so long.

I forget how it all began exactly, but as I recall was a bad couple of days a few years ago. And in an over dramatic fashion I posted about how much I hated my life and I wanted to die. It was just a way of venting but I found that people were concerned for me. And as sick as this sounds, I got a little bit of a rush out of it. I liked it. I liked people caring for me. It felt good to have people worrying about me.

And so this "marshalt" character became my alter ego. Through his anger and sadness I was able to get something I wasn't getting in real life at the time... affection. I began to feed off it, and it grew and grew. I found that a lot of you folks seemed entertained by my tales of faux suicidal thoughs and made-up encounters of female Subway employees.

That made me feel even better. It was like I had my own personal cheering section for this loveable loser. marshalt was like a post-modern Charlie Brown, if I dare make such a bold comparison. And I liked it. I liked the fact that I could make people laugh, even if it was at my (my character's) expense. If exaggerations of my own shortcomings and failings made other people happy, then I was happy. And maybe my failings weren't failings afterall...

But now I think it's time this all came to an end. It's just getting harder and harder to keep this up. Mostly because I have a pretty good life going. It's hard to talk about hating everything when you actually don't. I have a job that I love, good friends, and all that stuff. But what will probably shock you the most is that I have a great woman in my life. Hey, I'm still in shock over that one and we've been together for two years! And the strangest part of all, last December she decided she'd like to spend the rest of her life with me. :eek:

Aside from all that though, I feel that I need to apologize. I've been deceiving you
all for 3 years. Some of you have even become... oh let's just say "emotionally invested" in me. And while your thoughts and worries have been appreciated, they are not warrented or needed. I apologize from the bottom of my heart for that.


So ummm... yeah. That's my confession. Thoughts? Reactions? Anything???



Oh, I suppose there is one thing that has been the truth.

I really am a horrible speller.

*shrug*
Never took you seriously.
 
you better really be a milkshake or some kind of beverage. Or it will all have been too much for me to take.

I really know little about you other then remembering that AV around here.
 
I suppose you don't have a straw sticking out of your head, either. I'm so disillusioned.


On a serious note, we all play a role here, truthful or not, in varying degrees when compared to the real world out there. I'm much nicer here than I am off the boards. It's more fun that way.

I don't look upon you any differently than I did before. So, you made up some stories to entertain us. Who's really harmed by that? Unless there was something I missed, I'm fine with your confession.

And congratulations!
 
why are you telling us this now instead of just not posting here and enjoying your great life?
are you expecting to post this here now and continue to post here and not have everyone bring this up after every one of your posts?
cos you know that won't happen, right?

You better really have floating bubbles that I can come and ride on.

If that is not true then all this truth will be too much for me to take.

Because I actually care about the people here.

And no, my lit time is going drop off sharply.
 
Assuming what you have said is true, at least you emerge to make that revelation. Additionally, congratulations to you and your lady.

I think part of the reason I'm doing this is because for the past year or so I've been known as a comical character and... it's hard! I mean, I'm at work and thinking "Hmmm, I wonder what kind of goofy-ass thing I should post about tonight?"
 
Huh ? to each his own.

May the loss of your alter ego go well for you. You obviously needed it at some point in your life, the problem with alter ego's is they gain a life of their own.


Good luck with the woman in your life.

Live long and prosper

May the force be with you

Go forth and Multiply

how did lent fasting go?
was that a lie too?
are you even religious?

Oh it's going alright.

Not everything I've posted is a lie. A lot of my posts have their basis in fact.
 
I'm pretty sure everyone on here is playing a role, goofing, or just outright full of shit. So, my opinion of you hasn't shifted one bit.

Plus, you're a dude, so I never much cared about who you were or what you were about. Sorry.

so you are religious?
but you've been feeding people here lies and heresay for 3 years?
and you say you care about the people here?
you are religious enough to observe ridiculous fasting rituals
but not religious enough to be honest with people you care about?
if you care about the people here, and lie to their faces
then do you find it just as acceptible to lie to your fiance?
if so then i might suggest a little more soul searching before condemning her to a life with you
