Category: Let's talk
AT FIRST, I was gonna make this a "LECTURE/LET-OFF-STEAM/VENT/WHATEVER kind of MESSAGE, but INSTEAD, what I'LL do is present a challenge, and leave it up to YOU to either CHALLENGE IT, or be CHALLENGED BY IT.
QUESTION: if I were to ask you: "How do you EVER EXPECT to KNOW ANY/ALL OF ME, IF/WHEN all YOU know IS ABOUT me?" how would you answer? COULD you answer? If you COULD, but ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to answer, WHY?
This probably belongs in the "let's talk" board, but that's beside the point. Obviously without knowing you below the surface, people only know (or think) what you want them to. In a place like this it's up to you how you want people to perceive you, and if you want people to perceive you as a wanker then that's your loss.
Hmm, single and available, your post is so disjointed I'm not sure what your asking?
If your asking do we know you, the anser is no.
Are you maby asking if we would like to know you? Or are you asking y don't some of us want to here your life storie?
Not trying to be rude, I think you just need to make your self a bit more clear if you expect to get any real anser.

Not again...yet another post we can't understand.
Well, to the LAST PERSON that posted, prior to MINE--if you COULD understand, BUT DIDN'T WANT TO, why?
Single and available, I think you put way too many commas and after thoughts, and side thoughts, and so on and so on in your messages. But, to answer your question.....if a person knows enough "about" you, from reading your profile, reading your posts, hearing you speak, then some of them simply won't want to get to know any or all of you. If hearing these tidbits of information is enough to turn them away, then getting to know you better is not going to help.
As far as you wanting to know why someone wouldn't answer the question, even if they could....some people just aren't going to want to be brutally honest with you.
This is REALLY AMAZING ... little or none that THOSE OF YOU may KNOW, these questions have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with either ME, YOU, or ANY ONE SPECIFIC PERSON/GROUP, so THEREFORE, none of your answers, SO FAR, are VALID, except for those, whose answers indicated that you DID get it; TELL YOU WHAT: I'll re-introduce the beginning-above from a QUESTION, ONLY, to a STATEMENT/QUESTION COMBINATION concerning ANY GENERAL AND/OR PERSONAL MATTER: HOW we know "X," has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with HOW LONG WE KNOW "X," or HOW WELL we THINK we know "X," but INSTEAD, it ONLY HAS TO DO with TOTAL DETERMINATION to know ALL OF "X," which ONLY RESULTS in our DESIRING, not JUST WANTING, ALL, not JUST PART, of "X." What's YOUR feedback, THIS time?
that you are still trying to make things much too complicated.
WELL, THAT may all DEPEND on what YOU find that's COMPLICATING IF, AT ALL, about this message--to ANY ONE, not necessarily ONE, ONLY, ALL OF THE MESSAGE just might be, WHEREAS, to ANOTHER/OTHERS, PARTIALLY COMPLICATED, YET, to either ANOTHER OR OTHERS, NOT AT ALL, and STILL, to either ANOTHER OR OTHERS, NONE OF THE ABOVE would EVER MATTER.
First of all, I have understood all of your posts in this topic.
Second of all, I'm not sure whether you are trying to convince yourself that you are intelligent or trying to convince others but you are going about it the wrong way.
Thirdly, and probably most importantly, you are making an ass of yourself. But I suppose that is nothing new for you.
In your first post, Single, you were talking about a person. The only way to know another person, really know him/her that is, is to spend time with them, and then, you really never know everything about a person. Why do you ask these questions, is it because you enjoy reading the responses, both from people who are friendly and those that feel disgust?
WELL, NIGHTBIRD, perhaps you can tell me why I SHOULDN'T ask these questions--not that that'll STOP me from doing so, of course, but I'm just curious, that's all; JELLO_JIGGLER, as far as YOUR ISSUE is NOT CONCERNING TO NOONE ELSE, BUT YOU, which says ABSOLUTELY NOTHING: if ANYONE'S attempting, QUITE WEAKLY, I'll DEFINITELY ADD, ANY FORM of what's SUPPOSED to be "CONVINCING," that would DEFINITELY have to be YOU, ONLY BECAUSE all THIS is about, has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO with ANY PERSONAL MATTER, PERTAINING to ANYONE, or ANYTHING, WHATSOEVER, which is SPECIFICALLY WHY I referred to "X" as the subject--OF COURSE, it IS up to the individual reader to apply "X" ANY WAY that it might mean to THEMSELVES, which has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with how THE NEXT PERSON MIGHT APPLY "X," IF they should even CHOOSE to apply, AT ALL; so, JELLO_JIGGLER, YOUR POINTLESS POINT IS ...
Hi, there, I don't believe that you should not ask these questions. Ask whatever questions you want to on this board. It's up to people how they respond. I was just curious why you asked the question--there is no judgment of you or the question. Just curious.
Well, HONESTLY, even though I already know that you WOULDN'T judge ME, nor would you judge my QUESTION, I REALLY DO BELIEVE that THERE REALLY ARE THOSE that ACTUALLY WOULD wanna challenge my question--IN FACT, LET ME JUST SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT--EVEN THOUGH I may SEEM to "ALWAYS HAVE AN ANSWER for EVERYTHING," whichis just ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS--NO HUMAN BEING EVER DOES--ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that I may EVER SAY, whether its ANYTHING that I might INITIATE as either a CONTROVERSIAL ARGUMENT AND/OR DEBATE, ISN'T UNCHALLENGEABLE, JUST BECAUSE WHATEVER I MIGHT SAY would JUST SO HAPPEN to be UNCHALLENGED, regardless COUNTLESS ATTEMPTS--IN OTHER WORDS, I, along with ANYBODY ELSE, whether ON OR OFF THIS LINE is INFALIBLE, which is EXACTLY WHY I DO say the VERY THINGS that I DO--TO CHALLENGE those of YOU to CHALLENGE ME--now, whether you CHOOSE to CHALLENGE ME OR NOT is how whatever I challenged YOU with, is either CHALLENGED OR NOT--what the REAL KICKER is THIS: now, to ME, which DEFINITELY doesn't MANDATE for ANY/EVERYONE ELSE, WINNING OR LOSING AN ARGUMENT is NEVER THE ISSUE--ENDURANCE IS. The ONE THING that's for DEFINITE SURE is that NOONE MAKES points, so THEREFORE, noone can PROOVE points; all WE can do is VARIFY points. How are points made, if WE don't make them, we might ask? NOONE KNOWS HOW they're made, BUT THE VERY ONE, IF ANYONE, who MAKES them, IS the VERY AND ONLY ONE who MADE US--GOD, HIMSELF. So NO MATTER WHATEVER ANY MADE POINT THAT'S VARIFIABLE, as ALL POINTS ARE, as it's ALSO WHO/WHAT/WHEREVER GOD QUALIFIES, IF ANYONE/THING/WHERE TO DO THE VARIFYING, there ARE no winners or losers, "LEST ANY MAN/WOMAN SHOULD BOAST."
MAJOR CORRECTION: in the above reply that I posted, while I was SLOWLY gathering my thoughts as I was writing, I DEFINITELY UNINTENTIONALLY made a VERY EXTREME, HUGE BLUNDER--I said that "I, along with ANYBODY ELSE, whether ON OR OFF of THIS LINE, is infalible," when I REALLY meant to say that "I, along with ANYBODY ELSE ISN'T INFALIBLE ..."
agreed with posts 6, 8, and 10
Post 15 was a bit verbose and silly,for it's purpose. However, I feel that your question was very valid. That is, how can you truly know someone, and is knowing about someone the same thing as truly knowing them?
I suppose that anyone can hide his or her true nature or at least wear a facade in public. That said, I believe it also depends on the kind of relationship being discussed. My boyfriend isn't going to "know" me in the same way that my close friend, my neighbour or my mother will. Each relationship requires it's own set of rules and boundaries. For me, the only beings who can truly know me, other than myself, are The gods. There are times when I believe that they know me better than I know myself. I think that even the most honest people have sides that they show only to certain people. There are those, who know us better than others do, but on the whole, being open and straight forward can definitely help people to get to know you better. I'm sometimes asked why my life is pretty much an open book, and my reply is, so that no one can spread gossip and rumours about me. Hope this is a decent answer to your intriguing question.
