How "believable" are you?

You know I started to think on that. Some of my life has been pretty boring where it would be very believable but then I think on other things. Some of those might seem like I'm making it up or maybe stretching the truth. I think some of it has to do with the fact when we see some things posted we don't want to believe it can happen. Just like when we see some news items. We know it can happen but we don't want to believe it has happened. That people in society can't do that or have it happen to them.

if i posted my life story, certain people who are aware that there are liars in this world wont believe all of it. But i think that most people would believe it because anything you say you've done has probably been done before, unless it was totally ridiculous

LOL ... If I started posting some of the things that I have done in my life, chances are I would get into a lot of trouble. I have never been an angel but I've never taken things so far that I'd end up getting arrested. I guess some people need to feel like they are the center of attention or they have to come to places like myLot to get attention. If anything, I feel sad for them.

To me my life has seemed very boring for the most part, so I feel it would be very believable. Then, I share some stories with friends and realize that actually I haven't had a very boring life after all so I am not sure that everything would be believable. It is fun to share though.

I think most of my life is quite believable but there are a few events that I doubt anyone would believe if I posted them here. They are not things I'm likely to post anyway so there shouldn't be any problems with people not believing me - even if I chose to post them and people didn't believe me that's their problem really. The simple answer to you question is that people would believe most of my life story if I posted the whole thing.

I think most of people(including you)will believe me very well,because my life story is far to me "incendiar spectacular"... I am sure i am same with a lot women here,and i am pretty sure i will have no problem being "believable"(hey,strange i just noticed thet word"believable" have inside the"LIE" word...lol!!) augusta

I suppose it depends on the people responding to the discussion. I have noticed that on most of the discussions I have been on the majority do tend to believe what the person is telling them and they usually give meaningful responses. Maybe I am gullable but I do tend to believe what people are telling me, so I hope they feel the same when I make a personal statement about my life. I am sure there are those who will make up stories to get alot of responses, but so far I have not come across any or have I? I have responded to one of your discussions and I believed what you had said and I have read discussions that familiar members have responded to that seem to keep in context of what they have said on previous discussions. I am not really bothered if people believe my stories or not. I am not on here for brownie points but to understand how other people think and what has influenced or challenged their life's. I do feel that by being paid on this site does attract some who are not here to enlighten their understanding of ourselves but I just ignore these and tend to respond to discussions that feel genuine and I hope those who respond to my discussions do the same.

I like this thread. I'm glad my bud jimbo dug it up. You and I have discussed this before, and if I posted my life story on Mylot, I know a number of people would think it untrue. But if they went back through my other posts, I'm sure they would see that I am consistant. But as I said to you before, truth shows through. A real person can be seen through the darkness of the internet. there are many on mylot that I doubt. You are one of the few that I don't. It just shows through. I would hope that people would see that with me as well.

Well, there are really two sides of viewing your observations. One: If one posts everything about one's life, it may or may not be believed, as people are so used to hearing tall tales out here. Two: I myself might end up spinning tall tales to compete with the other tall tales that are doing the rounds, simply because the truth about my life may not seem interesting in comparison, or that I might be too squeamish to discuss the truth out here. Either way, one gets to see a lot of make believe stuff here and there is nothing really wrong with that. If a post, imaginary or real, generates healthy discussion and activity, it has served its purpose. What you do think?

Honestly I try to stick with general topics and if it is about something in my life then I make sure it's nothing major. I will never "spill my gutts" to strangers. Yes, I feel very fortunate and love the friends I have here in mylot but because I don't know you all personally I can't talk about personal things in my life. Unless like I said they are no big deal. I also always write the truth, I don't lie about anything because if I want someones opinion what would be the point of lying about it? That and I don't like liars so I wouldn't want to be something or have the qualities of someone I don't like.

I am not good at creating things, what I reply or the topics i started are all my experience, if I were asked to create something out of my own experience, it would take me one whole day to get some ideas, I better start to write something that I had experienced in it. I do not mind people making up something, in fact it is hard to tell, even you see something exagerating, it does not mean that it is untrue, as long as I can enjoy in an interesting discussion, I will reply to it, does not matter it is true or not.

Nobody would believe the whole thing and there would be huge sections that would fall under serioous doubt. I like to say I am like an orange. My life has many sections and they are all seperate and unique. I'm lucky to have really lived, so not everything falls into the category of the mundane and believable.

well what i think is that i'll belive on that... b'coz u don't hv any reason of writing lie and i don't hv any reason of nt to believe you... as simple as this...

There's a lot of it that I doubt anyone would believe. My mother fell ill when I was a small child and was sick for the following sixteen years. It was mostly a rollercoaster straight out of hell, fraught with so many horrible experiences. If I laid it all down, in one place, people would likely think I was making things up to get sympathy. Even when I tell certain people, face to face, I wonder if they don't think the same thing.

If I posted my like story, I would think that nobody would publish it. It would be a pretty boreing read, thats for sure. But as far as being believable, I think there are parts that might be hard to swallow, but most of it would be pretty believable. Take care!
