Something to think about....

Are you who you say you are??

I mean think about it, we are all online, all hiding behind our computer screens, all anonymous really to the outside world, how do we know you are legit??

Just something that popped into my head last night in bed, was thinking about how many people out there online are attention seekers, freaks, or predators, and that’s a wee bit scary, especially when if you don’t know who you are reading (i.e havent met them personally or know them through someone else – like I know a lot of you) if you didn’t know me through other people or personally, would you think I was legit?

Ive been sucked in before, and it was at a weak time for me, I was on Anti Depressants and I was feeling damn shit. Now I have huge self confidence, no sign of depression returning (fingers crossed!) and I couldn’t give a flying fuck what others think of me, and im quite happy to take things with a grain of salt.

But are we too trusting of other peoples stories??

And does it really matter anyway?

At the end of the day it’s a computer and we can turn it off, ignore those who we don’t want to associate with online (not saying its any of you!) but there are some sensitive people out there where words online can hurt their already fragile soul. I know, i have been there, and when you are at a weak point, even the smallest comments are insensitive and can hurt.

Then there are some wierdos :)

Just thinking out loud really, have a great day!

Interesting point you have there - especially the ones that have no photos ect...sometimes you don't really know who they are!
That's why I am very careful with my son on the computer - can be very scary!!

Totally agree with this post, I mainly read blogs where I know them or they are known to me through other people........you just never know these days ay?
