I swear I'm being honest Options

[*Intercourse.*]

Are you really honest on this site? Are you really honest with your opinions or do you simply follow in the footsteps of your friends (real life friends or createblog friends)?

Please think before you post.

Thought I should at least reply too. Yea I've come to notice I'm really honest on this site. So honest that I've had people actually come to me and say that I'm to honest and I need to make people feel more better about themselves. That was a while ago of course. I just never found the need to actually take the time to make something up that isn't what a really believe or think.

At first thought I would say I have always tried to post honestly here at first, although that may not assure my posts do follow a unique coherent line. In other words, I try to post what I do feel and think at the moment of writing even though the product of said effort may differ from something I might have posted in the past.

Then again, following a general style doesn't mean the same specific result will be achieved over and over; which is in fact why all Pavement albums are so awesome, but that'd be another subject.

EDIT:

*I am pissed, this is the first time in a while... I actually care again... This is why I don't care about what anyone thinks when I post... Because when you start caring it becomes real.*

There's a middle ground between caring and being affected by the stuff that goes on in here. Admittedly, it can be a thin line sometimes, but nonetheless it's worth the effort to try to stand behind it as long as it's humanly possible to do so.

It may not always make the person/s you're exchanging posts with to calm down, but it allows you to stay cool and not say things that you have to regret later while still getting your point across.

In reference to this topic and to something you told me a few weeks ago; it is possible to be honest and leave sufficient outlet for happiness, anger, joy or whatever it is that one may be feeling at the moment while trying to keep things under some sort of control.

It's kind of staying in the middle of "f**k you all bastards, this is the Internet" and "Holy shit, I hope they don't get pissed off at my Snoopy themed signature"

Ugh.. you have no idea how hard I'm trying...

Took me a year, give or take, to go from "shut your piehole, rampaging idiot" to "I disagree".
