What Are You Nosey About Today?? 🦝

[Wand3rlust]

Bouncing of Dribble's thought a bit...

I'm curious if you've ever not asked someone a question because you didn't want to know the answer...

I think people do this. Isn't that being in denial?
I'd always rather know the truth. Finding out later or putting stuff off only makes it harder.

If you have truth, even if it hurts, you can deal with it and decide what you want to do.

I mean if its just if someone voted a certain way, I don't overly care. I guess it depends what is important to you.

I’m way too nosey not to ask

 

[ydahecnot]

I’m nosey.
Towel Dude?

Called him that once on a thread

 

[Jm19]

I know.

I am asking if it’s him!

I cannot confirm or deny if I have had relations with that towel.

 

[ydahecnot]

I cannot confirm or deny if I have had relations with that towel.

All I know is, I ain’t showering at your house

Today I’m nosy about people’s interactions here on Lit.

Are you open and readily share with people or do you keep people at a distance? How trusting are you with other Litsters? Are you skeptical of everyone? Do you let people see the real you? When someone asks your name, do you give them your real one?

I’ve started keeping people at arm’s length, and trying to build trust slowly. Which is quite different to me in everyday life - where I tend to trust far too quickly. I feel like I’m currently at a point where I’m anxious about becoming attached to anyone, only to have them drop me when someone better comes along, so I’ve grown to be very slow at giving out personal information. It takes me a while to give out my name, or any other identifying info. I’ve been chatting to someone as friends on here for almost four years, and he only found out the area I live in a few weeks ago! I’m grateful he doesn’t push me for information, even though he has given me a lot of info - including his home address.

Once bitten, twice shy. I’m happy to make friends, and if I end up with some lasting friendships - well that would be great, but my trust is at an all time low right now, so my interactions are friendly, but slow in terms of revealing info.

^^^^This. Always.

I’m way too nosey not to ask

^^^^But a little bit of this too.

If there's someone or something that particularly piques my interest, I want to know all about them/it. I'm a curious one.

I have...kinda...and I feel I hurt those that I ended up cutting out at a later point. But I learn from my mistakes. My goal is not to hurt people...but I am also one of those people. My goal is also not to change other people's minds. If I know there are certain characteristics that I refuse to compromise on...why should I hide them? That's playing games. I choose to associate only with like minded people. I was not always like this. The politics of today have resulted in this. I have nothing in common with a large segment of the population. What would we talk about? The weather? Books? Music? Art? Cool....but nothing deep.

Was it because I didn't want to know the answer? No. It was because I was stupid and liked the attention so I didn't ask the more difficult questions.

 

[ydahecnot]

I am.

Oh, you’ll just jump into his towel closet

See, I come here to get away from all that, and I know you have responded negatively when I have mentioned that before, but it is my view on the matter. There are a few conservatives I am good friends with or post with. Not every aspect of life has to be imbued with that crap. There are plenty of nontrivial ways to take a stand for what’s important. The PG isn’t the place, and thrashing about on the GB and Politics on a sex board is even more pathetic

 

[ydahecnot]

I’ll make chili.

Sorry, TD, no asslicking for you

 

[ydahecnot]

Dribble Lits how he likes, you Lit how you like.

Or, tl;dr

 

[Wand3rlust]

The weather? Books? Music? Art? Cool....but nothing deep.

The weather and music is deep, man.

 

[Daisy_Love]

The weather and music is deep, man.

You’re talking about my Lit history of conversation, man!!

turkey Chili?

 

[PrettyLilPussy19]

I have major trust issues with most people here. Like Scully and Mulder, I want to believe. The truth is though, I generally do not. Im a hard nut to crack as someone sort of suggested today and that comes from historical and recent experience. But if you are one of the few that manages to crack me, I’m in. I’ve got your back for life.

That said, I’m also fairly open and honest about that and about who I am and what I stand for and all of the things. I don’t want to be ruined by the past. I will just keep a healthy distance between the hearts and the bits and not let you ever touch either.

And PLP I’d always rather know the answer.

And what tools would you suggest for optimal nut cracking?

 

[jason28053]

Good Question PLP

Nothing terribly extraordinary…

Don’t be creepy or demanding.
Don’t be a liar.
Don’t feed me what you think I want to hear.
Be vulnerable if you expect me to be. Let me see you (not in the nudie pic way).
Show me your face (and if you have two of them stay away).
Keep the expectations real.
Slow and steady.

For a start…

All very good rules to live by.

That all makes sense

 

[LikeableMe]

I mean don’t think I have it down because I don’t.

Not in any way at all. The one dude I actually give loads of fucks about walked away this week in the most brutal of ways because of vulnerability.

The tools generally fail me repeatedly so they (and I) are deeply flawed. I would laminate someone else’s tools.

Sounds like you’re going through something very similar to me. I’m sorry that happened to you

I just wish everyone would be honest with each other, and mindful of other people’s feelings!

And that's how we differ. There is no gray when it comes to supporting a Fascist traitor. Pretend all you want. The reality...and I tend to live in reality...is that these differences will not go away. Anyone that does not condemn certain kinds of behavior...condones it. Period. This is EXACTLY the place we need to be talking about this because if we don't...this country is doomed.

An erotic fiction website has always struck me as a strange place to discuss politics.
I wonder what happens if you try to discuss sex on a politics forum. Do you get elected MP for Henley on Thames or something?

I share what I feel comfortable sharing with people here and IRL. 100% of my life is known by people but never by just one person. There is one person on Lit who has been a big part of my real life journey and probably knows 98% of my life, the other 2% is known only by my therapist. The closest members of my family probably know about 80%. I don’t do emotional and vulnerable very well and have shown my vulnerable side on a couple of occasions to the one person that has been the biggest part of my Lit journey.

I trust easily. I will tell people my real first name because it doesn’t identify me (there are lots of me in the world) and if you are on my Skype then you have it anyway. If somebody asks me a direct question then they would get a honest answer. If you know more about me than my first name then you are on the friend list.

 

[AmberLGreen]

Sex is discussed on political boards all the time because those entitled pricks can’t keep it in their pants, are you kidding me?!

Sex and politics - the only 2 places were faking, lying and exaggerating are the norm
