Why cant people just be honest online?

Its difficult to share and trust when you can never be sure who is behind the screen.

I think many people get caught up in who they want to be instead of who they are.
If they are not honest off-line, they sure aren’t going to be honest online.

There's no honesty in rl, why should there be any here? Anonymity on the whole promotes dishonesty.
SW-User
@LadyGrace Lol go away, please. ☺
Nice try, troll. lol. @SW-User

Honesty is usually not a trait a lot of people possess. And aided with anonymity, it becomes a playground for their minds.

@SW-User Unfortunate but true. I prefer real people with real opinions and confidence enough to express themselves.

Yeah. That’s right. Who are you anyway behind the SW logo? 😝

There’s a Marlon Branfo guy and a Steve McQueen guy and even cute kitten guys. Most of them are just flirts and prefer to be anonymous. I don’t mind it so much.

It can be like that in real life as well. It takes me awhile before I can trust someone completely. Trust has to be earned.
SW-User
Not to mention stupid ones following other people´s "instructions" as who to block and who not to...lol...
What makes you think they’re not?
You can’t know. I don’t expect much from people I don’t know. Neither should you. I mean unless you’re prepared to also be truthful. @Katag38

@Spoiledbrat I've learned to live my life no other way. Its easier to keep it all straight . . Freedom in honesty. Anon or not!
That’s great for you. @Katag38

Its easier to hide online. It sucks because you have to be kinda guarded.

Sometimes it's easier to tell a lie than to live with the truth :(

There was a kid in school that was a compulsive liar. He wasn’t a bad guy, he just got used to making stuff up and that was who he became. People with red hair seem to be the biggest bullshitters

I am honest here but the fact is you can't anywhere, or at any time. Trust is like respect, it only has value and means something if it is earned.

@Spoiledbrat What is a fake account? There really is no such thing.
You can try to justify it or take away the definition of what it is. But it’s someone who already has an account her yet use another to troll someone here. Like me for example. Once they they get the desired response, they leave. It’s dishonest and *manipulative and doesn’t give the target a chance to rectify a wrong. Or whatever offense the troll sees as wrong or *annoying. @MethDozer

@Spoiledbrat Ah. Gotcha.

I guess I don't take this seriously enough to get involved like that.
