Person help: I just have some questions. - Help.com

here I tell the truth and am honest with my feelings, sometimes I post annonymous because admitting that honesty and who i am is too much for me. I don;t chat because Ihave heard so many horror stories and in this day and age there are few people you really can trust behind a veil of cyber-space. I wouldn’t give out too much info while chatting or I would “code” it. You knw you hear all the time about the pervs who say they are a 15 year old boy to meet young girls. Some young girls give out so much info they can be found. I’d stick with the no home town, no state, don’t tell names of your team if you play on one, just safe stuff because as much as you want the person you are chatting iwth to be real you never know

I’m always honest when I ‘talk’ online, but I’ve read so many posts where someone says that they have an online boyfriend or girlfriend. To share all of your personal stuff with a ’stranger’? I don’t understand that. But I agree that you shouldn’t give out any personal details about yourself, like your name or where you live, or your email address. There is no way to be absolutely sure that the person you’re chatting with is ‘for real’ and you can never be too careful.

i am honest when i chat on-line as well.

i agree with the above posts, and i would also like to add that if someone says “all chatting is fake” that is a sign that the person saying that is fake. that comment reflects more on the person who said it than on “all chatting.”

i think that you dont ever know for sure if someones being ‘real’ or honest, but i look [or listen if you will] to what they say and see if theres contradiction, if they only want to talk about ‘themsleves’, if they seem to just have motives, and most of all …if there on the same page as me; just want to talk, or looking for something i dont know about, etc. i cant say i talk/chat hardly at all, but for what i have, this is my personal opinion. hope i helped some.

Yes, if someone tells you that “all chatting is fake”, they are, in essence, telling you that they are fake. If you want to be a part of this persons ‘role playing game’, you can continue talking to them.

There’s good and bad in all things. Be careful. And take care.
