Here's a question for when you get home. What percentage of people on here do you believe tell the absolute truth all the time?
Well I know I do.
Serenitree · F
And mostly everyone else will say the same. How many of them are lying to you?
Yeah. I actually thought that same thing after I posted it. People. Such complicated creatures.

Yes we are. The best you can hope for is that whatever anyone here says, they aren't actually intending you harm. Exaggeration, joking around, fantasizing, they aren't intended to hurt. Many of them are just kind of thinking, "what if". And saying it as if it's real.
Yeah. I've actually been seeing that quite a bit. It makes me wonder, what is it about this place that brings out so many of those sorts? I really just don't get it...

It isn't just this place. It's life. Here, all over the Internet, people you meet at work. Not all are lying to hurt you. But many people feel that nobody will ever be interested in the boring truth of their lives, so they say went for a run in the park, because saying they spent four hours watching tv and then going to bed isn't interesting enough.
