Change Of Opinion...

I think that can happen when you talk about different subjects. Things from the past can come to light and conversations can go places unexpected. The next day it can be something totally different again. The information we know about the person might not be enough though to understand them. We find out things as we go along. Then there are some that live double a life. Bond, James Bond.

It is rare for me to change my opinion about people - I am usually good at working folk out. Granted it is harder to do online, but you can figure other mylotters out after one or two posts. I accept and hope that people do have differing opinions to me - It makes for a varied conversation. However some opinions can be hard to accept or even comment on... Those people I tend to avoid. As for myself, I am aware that I make comments to make a point and to get a reaction..... I can't help it

I could sound paranoid here and wonder if it's one of the discussions that I created that you are referring to that caused a bit of concern, amongst some of my friends here on Mylot, I think it was due to bad wording that people were wondering if Wolfie was cookoo! I like to think people know where they stand with me and hopefully I haven't shocked anyone, I am honest and open, sometimes too open maybe. I have only ever done a few risque discussions which I thought afterwards that I had written through emotion rather than intellect.

i don't presume anyone be anything online. the online world is where people to come be either something different than what they are, or reveal who they really are. it's just impossible to have such high expectations from people online.

This hasn't happened to me where it's been my opinion that's changed. No offense to the real people behind these names, but to me you're all robotic constructs of my imagination that just so happen to speak randomly for my amusement. So nothing changes that opinion. But I can count off and need more fingers when it comes to people I thought I was cool with, only to find that they started to get a little snippy with me here recently. And I think that's because I played in politics and people for a long time and didn't do the whole religion bit. But now that I tinker around in religion, I notice a change in people's attitudes toward me and with how they carry themselves in conversations with me in general. It's not enough to sneer at an atheist; one must do so while giving strong affirmations of faith and dropping prayer bombs. One does not simply disagree with another viewpoint. However, I will say there was this one time where a guy and I were discussing random troll nonsense. Par for the myLot kiddie course. But out of nowhere he dropped a conspiracy theory on me that made moon landing deniers writhe in side pain from laughter. I was dumbstruck by the stupidity. I've heard some whoppers in my day, but this conspiracy--a series of small ones forming a Voltron of dumbphuckery--shocked me to the point I'm still laughing about it. So in that sense, my opinion changed. I'm sometimes shocked to learn what people genuinely believe to be truth.

I know lots of people that have this wonderful rep and everyone's just about all praises about her. Then when that time that I get to finally sit down and talk to her, and that moment that she opened her mouth, it just ruin my good impression of her. Sometimes I wonder if I am just expecting too much out of a person, or I am just plain inexperienced when it comes to knowing people and what they are. It is really hard, it is like getting disappointed and relieved at the same time. It does happen but of course I secretly hope that I will get someone right the first time.

I can think of one person. I actually ended up taking them off of my friend list. It had to be over a year ago. It was a woman. They started a discussion I never thought I'd see from them. It blew my mind. It went against everything I'd ever seen her talk about.

i hate these kinds of conversations as they always bring out my insecurities. Was it me? if so just pm me. That being said, yes ..it has happened. in fact there are some that i would say that i disagree with a lot of what they say here and strongly disagree. my goal is to always find something that we have in come...anything and disagree in a respectful manner. that is not always easy but it is my goal.

I don't recall that ever happening to me on here. In life I have. When someone I knew for 35 years. She accused me of stealing. Something I would never do. It still blows me away. I am so hurt even now and it has been nearly four years ago now. Of course we are no longer friends and that is really a bummer.

yes on here and in real life we always meet people that we can think, wow that person is just like me. i can so get into being friends. then one day they say or start doing something thats really hard to understand or believe and you think you never really knew them. ive met a couple like that online but LOTS off line then again theres people like myself that just totally change in time. like when i was young, total out going, party girl that loved to socialise etc., then i met my last late hubby and was a whole different person. still social but in a different way. if you know what i mean. its hard to explain and now ive opened it up, ive no where to go with it. have not the words to make it understandable

There really hasn't been anyone here online that I thought they were one way then later on it came to find out that they weren't who I thought they were. But in person a person that I thought they were friend and I thought so highly of them and I thought they were a nice person, until later as the years went by, that it come to find out they were not at all what I thought they were. And now me and that person are no longer friends. I have met a very few people like that that were my friends.

I'm not going to call names (especially as I'm not really in the bunch of really closely bonded people on mylot), but yes, I've seen some tendencies like that. Not necessarily out of character things, I ould say, because who am I to judge someone's character out of some posts, but more like contradictions. Like someone is really obsessed with a person, and like a month later, they are like I hate him/her... it's really weird to me. I don't change my mind about people that often.

different situations usually bring out the different character in us. That is understandable. Sometimes we even surprised ourselves by thinking or doing something we never thought we could. Believe it or not, we applaud ourselves sometimes and there were instances that we realized how bad we could be. Nevertheless, that what makes us quite unique in our own way. we cannot expect everyone around to accept us the way we are...

Oh yes. It happens to me so often.. I think a person is in a way and, after he/she writes something, well I change immediately my mind..

Yeah this has happened to me and I can accept it to a certain extent but then I think...hmm, I like this person but then I discovered that their standards and values were so different to mine. Do I still like them? You know what? Most of the time, I cannot answer that question.

Yes, I have also observed that some mylottters sometimes behave unpredictably on mylot, contrary to our belief and notions about them. I do not feel comfortable when any of the friends on mylot does something unexpected, however, I let it go as an abrasion. I remain cautious while dealing with such friends in future.

We see many people with personalities we can never fathom. Our perception of certain individuals might not fit in well to their true selves as they assume the roles of 'still water runs deep'. They are people who are known to be reserved, never show their true colors in actions or speech can rise to the occasion and exhibit the other version of them that can be truly shocking.

hi Lovingmyhbabies yes I did with certain user here as I thought she was really a sweet kind person then suddenly she started to make the most insulting responses to almost any discussion I wrote and I felt like she had two different personalities for sure. Even her own discussions went from mild to sort of pompous and overbearing,. As you can see I am no longer her friend though I never deleted her from my friends list. She does not like me after all, Nor I her,..

This has happen to me on Mylot and in real life. I had a friend here on Mylot who called me a friend. Had great discussions and was helpful! Then one day this person was not on my friend list anymore! I was deleted and had no idea why! If I had said something wrong and pissed the person off I had no clue! I even thought they left Mylot which I found out was not the case! I should of tired to get in contact with the person to ask what happen but I never did! I felt back stapped and it took awhile to get over it! Here I thought I had a true friend but in the end it wasn't!! I've had that happen in the real world,too.To many times! Thanks to my bad experiences I have trust issues! Of the true friends I have there have been cases of them doing things totally changed my opinion on them! Same with siblings!

We see people a certain way. And then we get this picture in our heads who they are. But some circumstances occur that may make them do things that you have never thought they are capable of. Then you stop and realize, yeah, he/she must have done that a long time ago but tried to be a better person or he/she should have done that. But in all honesty, no matter what the changes I see in a person, I still have the respect that I have for him/her.
