Is there a VERY personal question.... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

swedeace · 06-04-2005, 11:15 PM

....that you would not answer and be offended by? For instance, is there ANY question(s) that would be crossing the line in asking people? What type of question is crossing the line for you to be asked? I'm asking on an individual question. Not in a whole "if it's personal for me" because everyone has distinct definitions on what is consdered personal or what not.

Would you feel offended if ANY individual question was asked by 1) someone you consider an "online friend," 2) a friend you met offline and have kept in touch with offline, 3) someone you are crushing/loving on.

And how different would it be if it were asked online vs. offline? This is in accordance to chatting or instant messaging - not really on forums.

Just curious.

I don't think I have anything so totally personal that no one in the world could ever ask me about.

TripperFan · 06-05-2005, 12:03 AM

Same here.....I'm a open book baby!!!

I'll probably end up telling you things you didn't even WANT to know!

Kay Scarpetta · 06-05-2005, 12:06 AM

Eh, I'm a private person (in real life) I don't mind opening up to people online, though. I dunno, it's weird.

Rhiannon · 06-05-2005, 12:10 AM

I don't really trust people. Every time i think someone is valid, they backstab me.

Me too. All you have to do is ask me the right questions and you would probably know stuff about me you never wanted to know.

PZelda · 06-05-2005, 12:55 AM

I'm good-natured most of the time...But there are certain subjects I would much rather not touch on, both in real life and online.

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 06-05-2005, 02:25 AM

I tend to open up a lot more online. I dont feel so uncomfortable expressing myself.

me too. i'm really shy but im not scared to anything online cuz thats where i bitch about everything and it's not to their face. i really don't give a damn if people think i'm an "attention whore" for saying certain things like involving suicide. i know that it's a hell of a lot more beneficial to flaunt wanting to kill yourself all over a message board than not tell anyone at all, and posts like that need to be taken seriously no matter what. only ignorant/uneducated people would doubt that.

vienna waits · 06-05-2005, 03:07 AM

i lied. if someone asked me why i had a bad self image of my body i wouldnt want to talk about it. (so dont ask)

Same. Maybe because you guys can't see me and probably never will.

dawsongirl · 06-05-2005, 03:25 AM

I wouldn't want to talk about my views on sex, why I don't drink alcohol, why I still live at home, or why I don't work full time. Because every time I try to explain myself on those subjects, I get made fun of and I'm really sick of it. If people were more open minded and didn't look at me like I was a damn freak or alien or something or didn't try to make me feel like I was wrong for thinking/feeling that way, then I wouldn't have a problem. But if your thoughts/actions are not within the "norm", you're an automatic idiotic freak.

Mr. Stefani · 06-05-2005, 03:44 AM

yes. my mom always tries to get me to tell her who im having sex with. she cant take a hint that i dont wanna talk about that with my mother.

MsOrange · 06-05-2005, 08:00 AM

once i warm up to ya, i'm pretty open... otherwise, i'm Fort Knox

consentida · 06-05-2005, 10:30 AM

Nah. I'm pretty open with everything. Sometimes I think I'm too open and available for everybody. I'm actually trying to keep things to myself more.
