What’s your system for knowing what is real and what is just fantasy on here?

I’m thinking of getting myself a totem for whenever I log on here

I don't expect anything more than conversation here. Them being real or fake has little consequence. I don't get hung up on it.

@Jessmari through conversation, don’t you find you get an impression of who someone is, their beliefs and opinions, which help to paint a picture of who they are, or is the irrelevant to you?

@Ghostinthemachine Sure, but it's not up to me to tell them how they should present themselves. As long as they aren't try to convince me to do something like give information or buy something then I don't care. I may even indulge in the fantasy they create from time to time.

@Jessmari sounds like you’ve got it figured out.
I can’t help but be invested in people once I get to know them, either here or offline. Sometimes that’s a good thing, sometimes it bites me
