Iâm sure you all have noticed it, and Iâd be willing to bet that most of you have ended up actually doing it at some point during your membership here. Itâs the big revelation: telling the crowd at LPSG some personal detail that youâve never been comfortable telling your buddies. Whether itâs the anonymity or the often close-to-the-bone subject matter up for discussion or simply the supportive environment here, thereâs something about the forum here that brings out the dark secrets. Iâve spoken about a number of highly personal issues here without fear of judgment or repercussion, most notably my sexual experimentation with a college buddy.
To be perfectly honest, one reason why I joined up here was a desire to toy with my own pretty substantial trust issues, so Iâm often quite surprised that I tell the stories that I do sometimes. (I suppose thatâs another topic in itself: does anyone else out there exploit and experiment with his/her own character flaws? :wacko In general, Iâm a very private person, but I think that being (relatively) more open here is helping me move past that to some degree, leading to a more easy openness in my face-to-face existence.
Some of you, I know, pride yourself on your honesty and forthrightness in every aspect of your life (you know who you are :hug and I respect that tremendously and aspire to it (to the degree to which I am able to integrate it with my career and personality). So, this topic might not resonate with you guys (but feel free to chime in without making everyone else feel bad ). But for the rest of youâ¦
My question is this: have you revealed something here that has surprised you afterward? Something that, perhaps, only a couple of other people in the world know about? (And, if youâre brave and willing to repeat it, what was it?)
