Nobody else curious about what the OP is afraid of people finding out then, no?

Does anyone ever wonder why some people feel like sharing so much personal information on boards? Some people just seem to use boards as their personal agony aunt and divulge so much fantastic information about their life that you just can't help wondering if they can actually be telling the truth. At least that's what it feels like to me sometimes. Does anyone else get that feeling sometimes and wonders what some people actually get out it to tell so much bull***t?

not mine is it?

though am not using boards as a agony aunt so dont know if it is or not,due to severe disabilities am unable to self filter or edit out information.
am the type who is excessively honest with info due to how disability impairments affect self.
even though am still unable to hide self am very paranoid and untrusting of other users having been taken advantage of,lied to and bullied for a number of years by a person who used information of mine to pretend they were also serverly autistic;using what a support staff called 'grooming of a vulnerable adult',being the honest type who naturaly assumed everyone else were the same had just assumed she [or he,as it turned out] was being truthful,was driven into severe mental illness by this person and was told by gp woud have been sectioned if did not live in residential care.

proving honesty is a big issue of mine,probably because of how easy it is for people to say anything on the internet having known so many proven bullstters on support forums.
the chick project link of mine in sig goes to the site of the local autism organisation that owns the residential care centre am in,plus both the site galleries and the page specificaly in sig has photos of self,and first name,which if read the home page to somewhat narrows it down what am here for.
its ridiculous though,on some poultry sites we have people who make up having any pet chickens,stealing photos off other people.

for some of us we have no other way of communicating our thoughts other than through text,makaton,BSL/ISL or pictures, and the internet is a gateway to freedom of communication and the world,something which non impaired people can do easy enough,in own case this is why the internet means a lot more than offline world,its a lifeline-and this is where many other people;especialy those with impairments and disabilities coud probably relate.

Some people live out a second life through sites like this one-replete with vague fantasy, multiple accounts, tall tales about their fictitious achievements, and often a veritable suite of tumbleweed blogs to go with it.

Thankfully, they are a very slim minority, if an ever present one.

Im very dodge to be posting anything personal at all. Irelands such a small fupping place too. Im sure there are lits of people on here i know IRL who wiuld twig who I am with only the slightest hint. Better just to have the banter and keep it simple.

No not yours, and as mentioned earlier I didn't mean to talk about anyone in particular but just wondered if anyone else sometimes wonders about the amount of personal information people reveal about themselves, which, sadly, often seems to be utterly fabricated to me.

In fact, I was talking about people like that former "friend" of yours who used your story and experiences to get attention. It's that sort of stuff that really annoys me and I hope that you are better now after finding out that someone betrayed you like that.

Why would anyone in their right mind bother doing that? I can kind of the see the attraction of out and out trolling, winding people up can be fun I suppose if your into that kind of thing but what's the point in telling lies no one cares about.

Boards and real me are the same. Only difference is that I'm more vocal online

I meant mint on its own. Chocolate mint is fundamentally wrong. It's interbreeding really isn't it.

Indeed. Seems to be a good few of them types in the Aviation & Aircraft forum.
