There are a few people that I actually knew in RL before coming to Lush and they came to Lush to check it out. One
actual good friend and fellow writer is why I came to Lush. She's inactive now. Two others, I have actually met from here because we have
formed friendships that go beyond Lush. All of them know me fully. Now that I'm visiting overseas, I'm planning to meet
another. Don't get any ideas, it is just friendship.?
A few. We communicate via emails and through texts. I try to not just be friendly but be a friend. I appreciate my friends as valuable in my life. Life is a journey that is best traveled with others.
More than a few, I guess. Still, none have seen me without my cape and tights! Muhahaha!
Seriously though, other than the two who have made house calls, many friends have our contact info outside of Lush, including email and Facebook. I've said it before and I'll say it again, we have made some wonderful lifelong friends here. Thanks, Lush! ;)
I have shared various levels of my personal information with friends. All know my real first name. I have dedicated email and chat apps for online friends. A couple have my phone number. Only one knows my real name and everything about me as I do him.
At last count: Four have my last name, as I have theirs. This lot are free to find out whatever they like; there's not much at this point, nothing too high profile. I've told them most everything anyway. A couple have quite literally walked a day in my life. Three others only have my mobile and these days, we just communicate through that. Honestly, most everybody whom I speak to on a regular enough basis knows a fair bit about me. Does having all this contextual information affect the way we interact? Well sure, but I'd like to think it's for the better and hopefully I'll have no regrets later in life! Everyone I'm open with seems to be pretty decent. Even the one who's contacted me through 6 different Lush accounts (damn, dude was a lady on 2!). We're now writing buddies when the stars align.
Ask me last year and I'll tell you all this is impossible. x
Two at least have had my first and last name and my address
I've exchanged phone numbers here and there with very close friends.
It requires a lot of trust.
I don't regret those.
When I first joined almost two years ago, I gave put my cell number stupidly and I didn't know them well and I regretted that.
When I talked to them on the phone they were creepy as fuck.
Lmao
well, lets see,
for starters, when I opened this profile, I stayed in the shadows.. one I only came to help a friend with his work and this was the beast way.
Next, only a few knew it was me, first it was a man whom I trusted, and now no longer close to, dont wish him bad... we are all where we need, then I decided to write again, but did not want drama, and it took me about 4 months to even start accepting friends..... next well... now everyone knows I have returned... I know I friend ed a few that were friend from before and no one knew it was me... I do apologize for that...
I am ready to resume my friends here... and to open up to new one... so much love to you all
Only one whom I met on the site who actually knows all the particulars of my real life. And, so far: wonderful
Less than 4... It had taken a long time to get to that level of trust with a couple of them... There was one that feeling of trust was instantaneous... My judgment hasn't been wrong yet... Would I share again? Anything is possible, just depends...
I've only given my physical address and last name to one person. It's going great, except I'm a horrible pen pal.
I've trusted several of my lush friends with my true identity. Probably enough to find me on facebook and elsewhere. So far my trust hss not been betrayed and I have no reason to expect otherwise. I have wonderful friends!
A little kindness can be so valuable, yet costs almost nothing
In many countries being gay is a crime, and even in modern societies, politicians try to legalise discrimination. Your voice can make a difference. Have a look at All Out to find out how.
Hey... pssst.... that's an l (as in luscious) at the end of my name, not an i There are probably 6 or 8 friends from Lush that know a great deal about me, including where I live and my real email addresses or "google friends" contact info, and 3 that I've actually had the great pleasure to meet in RL. A couple of others I'd very much like to... maybe someday it will happen!
I haven't opened my life to many but am pretty open about facts of my private life, I will talk happily about my job, kids (though not too much detail there), my ex hubbie and other aspects of my life, I'm also happy to answer anything about myself too. I haven't taken the plunge to give or take addresses, I haven't given my surname or my number to anyone yet and I've only showed a pic to one. A few know my kinks but not all of them or the extent of them, one I have shared more with as he seems to have the same kinks as me so they are easy to talk about.
It's not that I don't want to share more things, it's more that it takes such a long time for a bit of my wall to come down enough to trust someone and that's not that most aren't trustworthy but more that I guard my feelings intensely.
Happiness will never come to those who don’t appreciate what they already have
All of my friends can see who I am. I don't believe in hiding myself.
Well, everyone who is a friend here on red and is also a friend on blue knows my identity. Not sure of the number, but it's quite a few, actually.
4 have my number, several know my real name. None know my address, 1 on facebook, 4 have seen a picture of me. 1 has my email mail, And I trust all that I have trusted with the information.
That I've met here, none so far. Two that I knew from outside -- one encouraged me to join, and I encouraged the other.
Many. Those that know me, know I take friendships seriously. Lush for me is a community.
Three know my address. At least ten know my real name. I don't try that hard to hide it. I'm proud of my stories here, and Lush has by and large been a healthy, positive experience. If someone from the real world found out, I doubt I'd care that much.
So far no one has figured me out. I wear glasses when I am on Lush, plus I wear regular clothes over my spandex uniform and keep my cape tucked into the back of my trousers.
The information on my profile is correct but it is not enough to be able to call me or knock on my door. I have not provided anyone with any more info.
