I also think it is interesting that your T asked if you were 'yourself' here. That strikes me as a strange thing to wonder about - why would someone post here and pretend to be something other than they are?

Coming from my background that sounds like a VERY appropriate question.
I grew up with people that were one way in public and another way behind the curtain/closed doors. Hidden abuse and with the mothers personality disorders she would hugely embellish or even make stories up so that friends and neighbors would give her all their attention-- she'd often defame others that weren't present, if it meant she could get some great attention.. ugh...
I find believing people very difficult. (things are not always how they say they are)
I'm sure many use the internet for their own gain-- be it pedophiles or people that will say anything to get attention. (I've even caught a person on a forum saying such and such happened to them-- when I saw the fictional foreign
MOVIE they ignorantly thought no one had seen!
and stated it as their own life happenings)
.....
I like to wish that people are really how they post and it's all truthful-- but-- I often have doubts
...
sorry bout that sidetrack
..... just wanted to give a cautionary "heads up" to some sweet, trusting members-- please don't be TOO trusting when you can't really "see" the people you are corresponding with.
wishing all to be safe and careful
fins (hope my paranoia doesn't rub off on anyone, that is not
what I would like at all)
