Are you open about who you are and where you’re from?

LilPrincess · 41-45, F
Yes...only because I lack the ability to shut up 😒
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@LilPrincess Allow me to help you ....

Bubbles · 36-40, F
Yes, I don't mind sharing I am from Miami Florida, it's a big city so not really giving away the homefront there.
popmol · 22-25, M
I'm open slowly closing because others use my openness against me.
But I am open about that
@popmol Nothing wrong with wanting to protect yourself but don’t let other people cause you to change who you are. 🙂
popmol · 22-25, M
@OlderSometimesWiser I do think it's wrong if everyone was full open I wouldn't have too.
I already changed, I'll try to not become worse
lonelyloner · 31-35, F
yes always bcoz nothing hide , nothing to loose any more

No. Shortly after I joined and had timidly posted a photo that received "good press" from the SW gang, I received a strong rebuke from someone complaining I'd not thanked her for hearting that photo, ending with the slam of the Block door. I'm here to speak truth, but until I'm sure there are no hair-triggers left among us, everyone will have to settle for "Katy from PA" without a road map to my door.
Dabre · 22-25, F
@katydidnt I don’t see how an anonymous heart warrants anything
katydidnt · 61-69, F
@Dabre I didn't either. I was a newbie, but figured all those thank-yous stretching out the commentaries would become annoying to everyone trying to read comments. Too bad there's no way short of a DM to heart someone's heart, but only be seen by the giver.

Sorta. I try to avoid getting too specific about where I am. I'm in a rural area between two small towns I won't name, but roughly 60 miles from Montgomery Alabama. People here tend to know everyone else and are prone to gossip.

I once had someone track me down without knowing who it was they were actually looking for. It went something like this, There was a repair job I had looked at but the guy trying to line it up, "John" was let go so I put the project on hold. One of his co workers was questioned about the details and only knew John had talked to someone in this general area. The first phone call was to a local business asking if they knew anyone in our area with the skills to take on such a project. They knew me but didn't connect the dots so they gave them the number of a contractor "Bill" they thought might know something. Next the guy calls Bill to ask if he had looked at such a job or if he knew anyone who might have. It just so happened on that particular day Bill and my ex brother in law were working together on a job and they looked at each other and asked "you don't suppose he's looking for ___________?"

The guy trying to track me down lived about 70 miles away. We actually knew each other, I had been to his house and did work for him in the past but he didn't realize it at the time. I once worked with his wife's grandfather and had known his wife since she was around 5 or 6. I had known his father in law for around 30 years and had done work for him as well. Small world.

I don't mind talking to individuals and may discuss personal details if I trust you, but I'm leery of openly posting a lot of details that might identify me.

I am only open with people I trust.
Umile · 41-45, F
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
I'm pretty open.
maskedbandit · 61-69, M
No, because people think I'm bragging.
I live in the deep south swamps of the U.S.A. Where the wildlife is great, the fishing is good and if you make it through the day without falling into a sinkhole, you've had a very nice day. 🤣
I guess I am alittle open. 😂 🤭 🙂
Pinkstarburst · 51-55, F
Where I’m from is a confusing question for asker and me. I’m not “from” anywhere as I was a military child.
maskedbandit · 61-69, M
@Pinkstarburst You can say where you were born, where you reside now, where you have traveled and what is your outlook on live. I bet traveling was fun up to a certain point and I bet you have a lot of stories to tell. 🙂
exexec · 61-69, C
Yes, up to a point. Full names and exact location are still hidden.
Havesomefun2 · 56-60, M
@exexec I know you don’t you live in Barnsley uk lol
exexec · 61-69, C
@Havesomefun2 No, but I have ancestors from Yorkshire, so we may be cousins.
Havesomefun2 · 56-60, M
@exexec oh that would be so fantastic
smiler2012 · 56-60
@Dabre 🤷‍♂️ye[ what you see is what you get i have no heirs and graces
KingofBones1 · 46-50, M
To open I prefer honesty over b******* any day
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
Sure. I don't hide much of anything on here.
Lostmouse · 13-15, F
Yes my parents were open with me from a young age so when I get strange looks or questions about why I look so different from my family I tell them I'm adopted my birth mother died when I was as born and that my Mama and Papi adopted me and love me the same as my older siblings
If the openness is mutual
tamilguy · M
Only if I trust the person.
Strongtea · 22-25, M
To a certain extent. I will say that I’m from North Yorkshire in the UK and that my name is Chris. But probably wouldn’t be more specific than that unless I really get to know someone.
Depends on who's asking. Online I keep my information locked down for safety. I real life outside the Internet I am open and honest about who and where I am from
Havesomefun2 · 56-60, M
@SlippingAway the way it should be
val70 · 51-55
Oh yes, I'm an Egyptian Pharao
Dabre · 22-25, F
@val70 I have a dry wit, usually lost on many
val70 · 51-55
@Dabre I've noticed. Not gone witless myself here yet

Only if I talk to someone that I have a connection with on some level, otherwise no, there’s no reason for me to be.
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
Pretty much.
I think if you're open and honest people get where you're coming from

Thevy29 · 41-45, M

Kenworth4954 · 56-60, M

darkmere1983 · 46-50, M

QCDog2659 · 61-69, M
In a great deal of matters, I am open.
ronisme1 · 61-69, M
Who i am yes, where im from, im vague
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
Pretty much, I guess.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
I am to a certain extent.
Havesomefun2 · 56-60, M
I’d like to think so
Most people know I live on the South Coast of England and that I’m an artist.

I put posts on about the concerts I’ve seen and books I’ve read. They sometimes get a reaction.

A few people have got through to me.
But I would never finish up in Lincoln.
Galanr40 · 61-69, M
Generally, yes i am...
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
I try not to be.

@MsSwan
Umile · 41-45, F
Yes.

It's far from a perfect life, but it's mine.

Never professed to be anything I'm not.

In real life that is.
subhubby · 56-60, M
Yes, I’m more open now than in the past.
