I'd have to say yes, at first. It's only revealed after some trust is gained.

Yes, no point in showing. If I were open about the ugly in me those like me might take it as encouragement to be open about it as well. And heck, I don't want people to be like the ugly side of me. There's nothing good or useful about it.

I don’t have a dark side or maybe I don’t know what it is. But I definitely don’t open up to people very well unless Ive known them a long time and know I can trust them. Ive trusted too many people in my life who have just fucked me over

Yes, I do

I do compartmentalism different parts of my mind and only share certain parts with certain people. I think most people do this. As well

I do. Quite a few people would be surprised to learn of my gloryhole activities. That's strictly on a need-to-know basis.

Mostly. I've told a couple of people but that's it.

I totally do. I am a sexual deviant and have been all my life that I can remember. I have broken so many sexual laws and taboos. Many of which would have seen me in jail if I had been caught, or at least ruined my career.

Only my best friend has a hint of what I used to do and knows nothing about the chain of victims I have.

Sex is some thing that you take was my attitude.

Not if they bring it out of me.

I do definitely self censor around some people. It is not anything particularly dark or bad but just some stuff I am into doesn't conform to social norms and I just don't want that conversation.

I do because I am trying to get it under control.

i am an open book ,,, i figure if you tell what they want to know then no secrets ,,,, with someone you enjoy being with there should be no secrets ,,,

I do. I'm a career public servant, family man and generally regarded as a shrinking violet, but I'm privately the intellectual enemy of mankind.

I do conceal my dark side to those who are judgemental. I prefer to be able to be open about it and to be vulnerable with those who understand or at least won't judge me.

once i see the person i am seeing is going to go farther ,, i open and tell everything of my dark side ,, so if she decides to stay there are no secrets ,,,,

I don't try to hide my dark side at all which explains why so many people here have me blocked 🤣

i dont need to do so as i am too transparent ...open to queries on any aspect

Nope. I let my dark side out in all its glory for all the world to see. 😊

yes. better to share only with people who will understand you and who also have dark sides

Yes. When PTSD comes to town it pretty ugly . My hubby is really good at keeping me safe and secluded .

I wish I didn’t need to hide my dark desires😞

The only thing I hide is that I am a cross dresser from those that know me in real life.

I'm never sure if I can trust others, so I sometimes hide things that might be used by others to hurt me.

actually not so much. I am clearly what I am

nice pic BTW

Everyday. I’m sure no one would expect the thoughts going through my head

I've always had to do this... and I'm quite used to it by now.

Depends on what you mean by dark

We all have... Thats why we only trust some we tell

No it is the only side I have.

Some I hide, some I don't.

yes of course I do

yes i do from family and friends

Yes. Most know nothing of it.

I used to but i told a family once because i wanted to be honest and then she discriminated against me.. but thats life i guess.. I'm no longer that way.. i thought about telling one the lady's daughters to tell her I'm not like that anymore.. but i don't want to bother them with my nonsense.. sigh 😳

That's why I'm here

It depends .. I don't want to bother people, respect people that don't care.

And I don't want to bring others down...

But if they seem to care, want to know and I think I can handle it, then I'll be willing to share with them.

most of my dark side will only be shared with people i have built trust with usually we have to have something in common not for general public

I dont think i have a dark side but there is a side to my life i dont want others to know about.

Well, I dont think of it as a dark side, but others may

What do you consider your dark aspects ?

I don't have what I would call a dark side. I have nothing to hide from my loved ones.

I don’t hide that side of somebody brings it out of me whether it’s a good dark or bad dark.

i know others would say it was dark.. but I dont feel bad about these things

my dark secret locker just keeps growing and growing worsens with age i think ?

I don't have dark side, entire me is dark from inside

I have a public self and a private self, NEVER should the two meet.

Death & destruction

World domination

Grrr anger
