    It seems as though social media..this type of forum...is like the American old west: A place where one can re-invent themself. Either through a real physical/emotional growth or transformation, or a fake "catfish" transformation...pretending to be what they are not. Those are the ones to watch out for. Some people here will say things that they would never say or do in real life, simply because they can. I find this extremely interesting to watch....The people who are real are some of the most awesome people on the planet, and those people I am so proud to be friends with (oops my participle is dangling....lol).

    Well said.

    Once again I've learned some people really care and are real true friends who are ready with a kind message to cheer you up or check in on you when times are tough

    same as real life...so I guess something learned is that people are the same online as off line...there's jerks, nice ones and just weirdos but here it's like they're in a fishbowl

    Rumors start with almost 0 grounding in reality.
    People are more narcissistic that you expect
    Most people are only interested in one thing
    Folks hop on the highhorse bandwagon more often than not

    I heard you were talking about my butt you so no-gooder and how it was not good enough to star in the hobbit film, but it so is good enough....(said with righteous indignation)!!!!!

    if i said that then it was only to get other males off ur scent...devious plans!

    I was demonstrating the lesson you learned. Thought I did a pretty good job of it.

    It is actually quite easy to decline random friend requests, KIK, and ignore creep-filled message that set off your alarm.

    it's all fantasy.

    indeed, ppl present the best and some only see the best. It's a image that should be tempered by reality and logic.
