Category: Let's talk
this has been the latest talk of the zone... and in my view, it is very confusing. the 2 people i currently know about, are rachel, or justin (although i'm sure someone said they are not justin). you also got the surfer chick person, but that's another story. what do people think of this?. do you think it is anoying that people are creating so many acounts?. do you know when it's the same person?. did you at 1 point, find it amusing?. discuss!
what in my opinion is very wrong about this whole multiple personality thing, more than the multiple account itself, is the fact that people do that to create nonexistant people to get attention, so they make friends, with someone they are even more than friends, tell them lies about all kind of disgraces and illnesses happening to them, get simpathy, their friends are worried and feel bad for them, they love them, trust them, and then find out that these people don't even exist. this if you ask me is sick, twisted and simply damn wrong. isn't it unbelievable what people can do to get attention. hurting others like that. in my opinion there's very little or nothing amusing about this. even if we joke about the multiple personalities and things, what they do to the people they make friends with is... just so bad. it's true this is just a website, but we are real people, well most of us... and we really care about our friends.
of course, then we get into those who rpg. I am one of those, but there is a real person behind the bear, and the bear's paws are guided by his human. the bear is very much part of the human behind him.
agree with post two. well-said, Laurie.
Then you have me and my alter ego-ish thing Jenny. But she's as much part of me, within me, and interacting with me, yet separate, in perbect harmony. Lots of times, she's come out while I've been logged in, and talked to you, but since she is me, it's not technically account sharing. She just never commented when people called her Iyana, not wanting confusion. She and I coexist and we both remember the times when we are here or not here. If something happens to me though, Jenny likewise suffers from it, disrupting the balance. We don't always agree, in fact we disagree on many things--she's a very peaceful type, always more willing to reach out and speak words of comfort to those who are distressed.
But as for creating the multiple accounts, no. I don't have much of a problem with the accounts, like Lori. But when someone tries to be a person who is less fortunate, or in some way very disabled, for attention? That is absolutely despicable, sick, wrong, evil, and heartless thing to do. I don't understand why people do it. I never met Daniel, and have only once saw Rachel in a conference, and commented on her audio profile, therefore I don't know what to believe--is it a true personality, that she can't control, or is it her being horrible. I've heard that both were pretty separate beings/thought forms/whatever, and that Rachel didn't seem so attention seeking in the beginning, but I wouldn't know. After all, I haven't met either of these "personalities" and don't know who's who.
Now pacey whitter was a depressed idiot; I've been told his MSN tag said, may death come for me soon. He was totally attention seeking, I think.
Who knows about Justin? Never met him, don't know him.
Sincerely:
Iyana
Fully agree with Lory. Daniel was Rachel trying to get simpithy for herself by saying she has more than one personallity, and that she couldn't control him. Pacey Witter was just an idiot and a sick bastard who tryed to pass himself off as 2 16 year old girls. as for having more than one acount on here, that is just so wrong and unnecesary. it's not allowed anyway, and why would you even bother with more than one anyway?
I have no idea who any of these people are.
I do think though that people are often extremely naïve when it comes to making friends over the internet. It never ceases to amaze me when a newby joins a site like this, and within days they have formed an apparently close friendship with someone, email addresses have been exchanged, and in some cases even phone numbers. And yet we have no idea who we’re really talking to online. You only need one account to set up an online persona, and it really is easy enough to be someone you’re not.
At the end of the day, if you befriend someone you’ve never met in person, there’s a better than average chance they’ve not been totally honest with you about who they are. That’s not to say that everyone who goes on the internet is a fraud, but for a lot of people, the internet is a place to hide, a place to talk themselves up, to be just a little bit more than what they are perceived in rl.
There are well-known, well-thought of people on this very site, who are not all they are cracked up to be.
