Are there some aspects of your life that you don't share with the Fluther community?

Asked by Joker94 (8180points) July 28th, 2011

And obviously, you’re completely entitled to your privacy. But Fluther’s a very different beast of a social site, where we know more about our fellow users than we would on other sites. But as well as some of us know each other, are there some things about you that you want to make sure we don’t know, or are afraid of sharing?

I’m an open book. Ask away! lol

That I’m afraid to make a typo… I don’t want the whip again.

Jellie's avatar

I don’t share any weakness that I think I have for eg. that I am very insecure and unsure of myself. Also I don’t share the fact that some people on here are really really annoying :P

I do my best to come here on an even-keel. I try not to use this community as a kicking post if I have had a shitty day, so you could say that I attempt to hide my negativity.

perspicacious's avatar

The majority of me is not shared here. I’ve met some of you on Facebook. You’ll learn some more about me there.

Joker94's avatar

@NightStalker I hear you, but sometime it’s hard not too.
@sarahhhhh Annoying? Nah, most of them are pretty cool :P

Jellie's avatar

@Joker94 exactly, most, not all.

Schroedes13's avatar

I hope I’m not one of the annoying ones….:S!

jonsblond's avatar

You all know more about me than my mom does. The only other person who knows more than you all is my husband.

Berserker's avatar

There’s stuff I have not shared and never will. Fluther may be fine and dandy for a lot of things, but not everything. Another time another place, Fluther has been it, might again, other places and people in different dimensions have also been, and may do as such again. Some things I’ll take to the grave with me.

Jellie's avatar

Okay now I regret my comment. It’s not nice to spread something negative in a generally nice/happy place. Ima flag that shiz.

No @Schroedes13 you are not annoying :)

Schroedes13's avatar

YES! WOOHOO!!!!

Joker94's avatar

@Schroedes13 You aren’t annoying, my friend.
@jonsblond You’d best hope your mother doesn’t Fluther, then, eh?
@Symbeline To the grave, huh? If you come back as a zombie, though…?

Berserker's avatar

@Joker94 I’m expecting it to happen. But I’ll be too braindead to say anything.

Kinda like now! ^^

MRSHINYSHOES's avatar

Detailed info and pics about/of my young children, my job. For security reasons, naturally. ;)

Joker94's avatar

@Symbeline Oh jeez, do I wanna know? XD

Bellatrix's avatar

:-( Sarah means me! I know it…

I am very open, but there are things I don’t share. I don’t think it is healthy to share everything with anyone. There are some things even my husband doesn’t know about me or my thoughts. Not a lot I have to say, but there are things I keep to myself.

Berserker's avatar

@Joker94 No.

Bellatrix's avatar

You have secrets from me @Symbeline! Damn, I thought we shared everything.

jonsblond's avatar

@Joker94 I know she doesn’t Fluther, but she may have lurked. I sure hope not! She’s listened to my husband’s radio show and that was bad enough for her.

Joker94's avatar

@Symbeline And here I am without a shotgun..

I guess it’d be polite to answer my own question..I have some things I haven’t shared with Fluther, mostly because there wasn’t a prudent opportunity to share them. But if you have any questions, shoot!

Coloma's avatar

I’m an open book as well, but, not tellin’ my sex life secrets or my bank account numbers. lol
Otherwise, fire away.

TexasDude's avatar

I typically don’t talk about my love life in anything more specific than intentionally vague references.

Everything else is pretty much fair game.

Bellatrix's avatar

@Joker94 are you sure “Shoot” was the right word to use around @Symbeline? Especially when she might be recruiting for her zombie afterlife?

Joker94's avatar

@Bellatrix Good point…oh, pooh, this is a real pickle..

Berserker's avatar

@Bellatrix And you, some from me. :)

@Joker94 Shotgun? Oh I thought we were friends. XD

Joker94's avatar

@Symbeline We are! And what says friendship more than “shotguns”, right? Lol :P

Bellatrix's avatar

No, you know all .. really!! Would I lie to you my dear friend :D (Well there was this one…)

Berserker's avatar

@Joker94 Can’t argue with that! Let’s get drunk and shoot people’s garbage cans away. :)

@Bellatrix I already told you, if you cheat on me, I won’t be mad. Just invite me for the ménage a trois next time. :D

Joker94's avatar

@Symbeline We’d be living the dream, man!

Schroedes13's avatar

HOLY LANGUAGE, BATMAN!!!

Berserker's avatar

@Schroedes13 Yeah I…if someone ever makes a Fluther question about who swears the most on here and who has absolutely no class in any way whatsoever, my name better be fuckin mentioned lol.

Schroedes13's avatar

@Symbeline I always thought you were classy…....

Sunny2's avatar

Of course there are things I won’t talk about. But not just on Fluther. I have lots of private memories, but there’s enough to talk about without sharing them.

Berserker's avatar

@Schroedes13 That makes you one of us. ^^

Bellatrix's avatar

@Schroedes13 she is classy. @Symbeline is in a unique, class of her own.

MissAnthrope's avatar

Not anymore!

ANef_is_Enuf's avatar

I don’t really think I hold anything back. If anything, I’m way too open. Sometimes I hate that I can’t go back and delete posts.

Jellie's avatar

@Bellatrix I didn’t mean you either heh. There are just some people here who I think write generally acceptable answers to get lurve and ask abstract questions for the same reason. Those are the people I meant :P But I realize now that it’s everyone’s right to be on Fluther for whatever reasons they wish.

Bellatrix's avatar

Lol@Sarahhhh it’s okay! I wasn’t being serious. I was just being silly!

Sorry to make you feel like I was being serious. I should have put smilies or something.

ddude1116's avatar

If I’ll admit it to myself, I’ll admit it elsewheres. Relevance is key, however.

Actually, fuck ‘relevance’.

jrpowell's avatar

I have done some things that are pretty damn illegal that I could still be prosecuted for. Other than those I am a open book.

tinyfaery's avatar

Mostly. I don’t talk about the darkness lurking deep inside, but everything else I’m pretty open about.

Cruiser's avatar

Yes…of course! You really don’t want to know either! ;)

AmWiser's avatar

There is so so much I don’t share and would probably never share; and it makes me wonder if that’s why my lurve score is not moving as fast as others.;-)

ucme's avatar

Err, let me see, a Q & A site knowing all there is to know about myself ?
Yeah, that’ll be a NO then.

PhiNotPi's avatar

My social security number.

picante's avatar

I have already exposed significantly more about myself than I ever imagined possible. Certainly, any history that I’ve shared or any opinions that I’ve expressed would likely be the same sorts of commentary that I’d provide in talking in real life with an acquaintance.

I don’t reveal much of my professional status, and I tend to shy away from expressing political opinions (broke that rule yesterday).

Like AmWiser, I’ll likely see very slow growth on the lurve curve because I’m not sharing intimate details.

poisonedantidote's avatar

I have no problem talking to the fluther community about anything, but some times some certain questions I ask or answers I give will make me weary of the info getting out in to the real world.

Your_Majesty's avatar

I like my anonymity. I like being mysterious!

Haleth's avatar

I’ve been pretty candid. Some of my posts are probably too personal.

XOIIO's avatar

I’ve never told anyone about the satanic blood orgies that…

Oh crap

Blackberry's avatar

I just don’t share if I’m very annoyed with someone on Fluther, or if I really don’t like someone at a particular moment, but I always calm down, I don’t actually know anyone anyway.

rock4ever's avatar

I share anything… pretty much anyway. I do have some of my secrets though that I have no intention of sharing with a single soul. Secrets I wouldn’t tell under even the greatest pressure. I intend on going to the grave with them!

augustlan's avatar

I think you guys know everything about me. Some of you even have my home address!

There are some things I’ve shared under another name, though… my kids are here.

Bellatrix's avatar

I think it’s okay for people to do that. To share things they need to ask under a different name. We do all know a lot about each other and sometimes I think a person may want an answer that isn’t influenced by the relationship we have developed here with others and cannot be connected to us by those who may come across our posts later and be able to see themselves in our questions.

MissAnthrope's avatar

Actually, what @johnpowell said. I’m about 98% open here. Some things are just too embarrassing, others involve crimes perpetrated by wholly different versions of myself long ago, of which I am not certain of their statutes of limitation, so I am not about to post about them on the internetz.

lillycoyote's avatar

LOL. Yes, but I can’t tell you what they are without sharing them with the fluther community.
