I'm so sick of net people

[Cirrus]

How do some of you manage to fall in love online? I can't even seem to make a friend. I know it's not me, I have great friends offline, but everyone I meet online seems to be a total fake.

The guy I posted about a while ago that I met here, that had given me 2 different names? Well, I gave him another chance and I should have trusted my gut because as soon as I got busy and couldn't post for a while on the thread we were writing on, he ceased speaking to me. I didn't get him off any more, so suddenly I wasn't a "friend". Good thing I found out now, but still.

Last week Sparky starts to, out of nowhere, says "someone" told him I was a troll and starts filling my PM box with shit like "HHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMM" and "What...or maybe why?" at least twice a day. Totally out of the clear blue sky. Have I done anything even slightly troll-like here? No, didn't think so. Good thing we have ignore but MY GOD there are human beings sitting behind these monitors, doesn't anyone think of that any more? Probably if I left no one would notice, and also probably no one notices when I'm here, but there's always the select few, aren't there, that have to get a thorn up their ass.

Fucking hell. Excuse me, I'm just a little frustrated with 'net humanity in general right now.

Honestly, no.

At work, people don't walk down the hall to chat anymore. If they have a problem, they email it rather than just pop their head in an office.

Why?

People have forgotten what it's like to be able to communicate without a keyboard. It is a hell of a lot easier to express words through typing than through speaking. It's also easier to be hateful and cruel.

Also, everyone has their insecurities. On the net, you don't have to have any, if you don't want them. Everyone is pretty, handsome, clever, intelligent. Why would you want to be yourself when you can pretend to be someone else?

Not personally speaking, just my thoughts as a newbie who has been around. That's why I chose the name, JustKristin.

'cause I'm just that.

 

[Merelan]

I have no idea why he would do that. Can't say I follow any of the troll stuff here... one way or the other. In fact I tend to back out of threads that even mention it. But I read yours, and thought a bit.
Yes, I am human and most of what I say here and anywhere, if I went anywhere else, on the net is the truth. Only a few misleading things added to keep my identity private. Nothing major, just little things.
But the "me" you see here, the merelan you see or read here, is me. Or rather a bolder more confidant me.
I have met many people here, a couple dear and wonderful friends, a couple nice people to play and chat with, a couple I like to cyber with, and not much else, and a couple stinkers. But...
as in real life, if a flag comes up... or two or three I back away. Feel free to email or pm me anytime... doesn't that sound so dirty?

Okay, back to the srp board where I have been told I belong, having no intelligent response to any post on this board. Yep, I got the the other day from someone I thought liked me. But they emailed and told me I should stay in the slut board where I belonged.
Nice? Invitation to a dalliance? Oh well, I ignored it and haven't heard from him since. Shrugging shoulders. Maybe I misseed out on something.
My communication skills, and shyness, have gotten better since coming here. Not many of you remember the quiet, shy little merelan who first appeared. You weren't around then. I actually even starting posting under a different name, yarell. But was asked by a sweet man to change it. I was hesitant and nervous. Hands shaking after I posted anything, even in agreement to something. Now I am the nosey one who butts in and plays around all the time. Living here and forgetting there is anything on the web outside of Lit.

Merelan, don't you dare leave here. One of these days I will be back at the SRP Board, this is just a difficult period for me. Slutmouth, I have been lucky with the people I have met here & at other sites. The only people I have met from online in real life so far are women who share my hobby of doll collecting. Other than revealing my name, I am the just about the same here as I am in real life. It is too difficult, for me, anyway, to create multiple personalities. Sparky just get bored sometimes & although I have never had much contact with him, he strikes me as the kind of person who requires a lot of attention. If you want to just talk, my email is in my profile. Take care & remember that most of us are human & try to remember that there are humans at the other end of the computer.

oh my g..... i can't actually believe that someone from here would actually have the balls (raisens as they may be) to say that you, or anyone, but especially to you Merelan... wha the Fuc*? I mean.. do they think they are almighty or something? Gawd, some people just gotta get over themselves....

Slutmouth, fuck 'em if they can't take a joke. Thats pretty much my motto here and in the real world. I'm not going anywhere. I've ran, removed myself, disappeared too many times to try to please someone else.. and now i just say fuck 'em.. i'm not going anywhere.

You've got pretty much the right idea about people on the net. take them with a grain of salt and realize what you are dealing with. I admit that I do have a couple i-net friends. But they live so far away that I know our real worlds will never cross... so there is that specific line of seperation. Not trying to be cold hearted or cynical... just gotta know when to take the rose coloured glasses off

 

[bluntforcemama]

Sparky steps across that line frequently, it's second nature to him, I think. I wish he hadn't, though. There are people on here who are true and genuine, what you see is what you get, trust me on that. They may be few and far between, but they're here. I've had bad luck with people lying to me over the internet, too. It's hard to trust again, but sometimes you just have to make a leap of faith. But first, you have to decide if it's worth the risk.

 

[plasticman33]

As yet, I haven't had any truly bad experiences, most of the people I've met are decent, normal types. Oh the occasional weirdo or flamer, but usually if you ignore them they go away.

 

[Cirrus]

Yeah, the laugh about Sparky is he made it public that I was a troll {sic} and then he decided to PM me. He never posted my name, but he gave STRONG hints that's what he believed on the board. If that's not a cry for attention, I really don't know what is. So I posted a good natured, flippant poll asking if I was a troll or not, and all of 4 people voted on it. The conclusion I draw from that is the only one it really matters to is Sparky. The fact that he could make such a rash judgement is what got me though.

 

[Merelan]

Don't worry guys, or gals.... or rejoice either. I am not going anywhere. Didn't bother me. Over the time I have been here that and two others are the only bad emails I have gotten. Overall people here have been kind, generous and sweet. Helping me and emailing questions to me in private, which I prefer.

Slutmouth, at least you got accused of being a troll. No one has even thought i was one, darn it. Maybe because I have no idea how to make my name go away... log out is what they call it? Afraid to as I am not sure I remember my secret hand signal to get back in.

 

[Kymberley]

Slutmouth and Merelan, don't put alot of weight into what a few have to say.

Lit like the rest of the world have people whose opinions should mean absolutely nothing to you. Those who choose to attack without provocation should not even be cause to worry yourself about. Do what you like. Talk to who you want to. Ignore those who irritate you and let them spend all their time rambling about you while you spend all your time, living life without the knowledge they even exist.

Think about this one....

You must really be worth a helluva lot for them to even be wasting time wondering about you. What power you must posess to cause them to spend time devoted to just YOU!!!!

My point, Slutmouth, of all the comments I have ever read from you, I never once would have been concerned with the troll issue. You type what is on your mind, so ignore those who have no mind to type about.

Merelan, can't say alot about you other than the few posts of yours I have read have been impressive as well. So go on and keep posting what you think.

This is your board too. If they don't like your thoughts, let them skip ya or ignore ya.
