What a story to tell..... Ya never know.... | caligirl3's Blog


Ok... Where to even begin...

Hmmm... Shoulda known this, but hey I'm real and honest, so just assume *ass* that others are who the portray themselves to be as well...

I found out today that someone who is my friend on here was not who he *she* claimed to be.. I was friends with this person for a long time... *She* was my confidant and friend... I loved her dearly and trusted her...

I found out that this person pretended to be female to gain my trust and attention.. How should I feel about this.. Fooled, betrayed, flattered...? Loved, even?  All of us on EP should be careful with who we confide in and not to accept people so readily at face value... This has been a learning experience for me... I still love both of these people, but am having a really hard time wrapping my brain around the situation..

Any thoughts are kindly appreciated...

I am sooo sorry to hear that... *hugs*
It's a first for me... A long time coming I guess.. Yes it is a learning experience and luckily can walk away with it.. Still love him though, besides the betrayal...

Yikes! What a horrible betrayal of trust! I am sorry you had to go through it. I hate having to have this wall up when it comes to trust...but you just never known when something will come along and mess with your mind. Every time it happens the wall builds up more, which is truly unfortunate.

destry.. It is real and true... He says he loves me and has been inlove with me since day one.. I do love him, but am not sure how to handle this situation... A long time in the making, I guess.. I dunno..

AFB... Thank you... I would never turn my back on my friends here... You all mean the world to me.. Yes my trust is an issue now, but I refuse to change who I am... I am just me.. Pure and simple...

Friends.. lol

They are rare.. just like diamonds.. i think if some one cheat us despite our trust and care and feelings that we have for her/him, its not our loss , in end he/she will be loser , he / she will be lose our trust, care and love and true feelings that he/she will never find again ..

love urself only

SV... I am learning the true meaning of this.... How do I hold out my hand again in full faith??? I do love who I am.. At least I can say that I am true and genuine.. I value you and the rest that have proven to be the real deal... *hugs* Muah!!!!

PBR....Unfortunately I can say that this a current experience.. Actually in the here and now.. Maybe you are a little more cautious than I have been.. We live and we learn... I guess that's how the cookie crumbles... It is the net after all, so I shouldn't be surprised... It's just amazing to what extent someone is willing to go to talk and to be close to somebody.. I dunno how to feel about this..

Did you confront this person? What did they say about it?

Yes i did... The only reason I found out is because he confessed to me... He said he did it to get close to me...

Freindship can not exist without honesty. You can limit the extent of the honesty/intimacy to fit your comfort zone - but may not lie. A small lie is bad - but to make up an entire persona and trick someone who believes you are their "friend" - yuk!

I know you say that you still care for this person - and I admire you for your compassion - but, to me, the rape of trust is the hardest rape of all.

I thought so too Coyote... ((hugs))

adventureman... But to truly think that way is to cheat those of us who are entirely real on here..

That's a tough one there. They did decieve you to gain your trust and that's not a good thing. How can you trust someone who has lied to you that way. On the other hand there is this annomous thing that is necessary for some to be truthful. I would have to know more about it before I could say one way or the other. I can understand both sides but I do know you and you deserve better then that. I agree that you have to be careful who you befriend on here or anywhere on the internet. It's a shame too because here I'm more honest then I have been anywhere. I would have to think hard about this one. If they was your friend then you should continue being friends, but if they was so they could get information on you, to win your confidence then it sounds like they have alternative motofies. It's a tough one for sure!

hth13... What can you do??? Just be honest and be yourself, not what you think others may like... *hugs*

Lonesome... Yes it is a tough one, for sure.. Yes I believe you to be the real deal.. lol I appreciate and value that.. I will share the details with you... But I am with him now and we are workin' on things...

Was he (supposed to be she) trying to get something from you? I never understood the lying that goes on here. I thought the point of the anonymity was to have pure honesty.
I am sorry you got hurt by it, kid

Mr... Not really.. I guess.. Just my friendship and to get closer to me.. He says he fell for me.. That is why he came up with the extra persona.. Too some how come out as his self.. Yes, I too thought the point of ep was to be able to be purely honest and to be able to yer true self.. At least that is how I see it.. You too, it seems... and thanx.. ((big hugs))
