Friends list by Foxena

I May be a bit more selective on the "friends" list here in the future, trimming it back a bit to only include the people who i know and trust implicitly. (its a fairly short list im sad to say) While i think it is a handy feature it breaks me up a little that I didn't realize what i could do with it untill after i mass-accepted a bunch of people. Please don't take it the wrong way, you won't miss out on much other than depressy pants moods which hopefully are mostly a thing of the past by now. my rants/raves/ and amusing anectotes and anything else people might find particularly funny will still be veiwable to the public. its just id rather keep my more emo moments to just my super close friends. So really thats all your missing out on. We're still pals and we can still hang out but im just not going to be revealing all of my deepest darkest secrets anytime soon.

    I know that feel, on FA, everyone was like trying to get into your heart and know you, I agree, i really don't need friends in the fandom, just people I can get along and talk to, a mass of friends can be trouble some

      ITs sort of like... i needed to rant in a journal on FA but in ranting EVERYONE could read and interpet (or in many many MANY cases misinterpret) those rants to beleive them to be about themselves and use that as evidence against me, which HURT alot. so to prevent that from happening, the more... eh... compromising journals will NOT be public. Its not that I don't trust people not to spread what i say, but theres people out there that will look for any and all excuse to paint me as a wicked horrible person. It's attacks like that im trying to avoid in the future.

        Have been there, and been painted as a horrible person for a simple phrase of words said, I find it horrifying that people actually judge others on words than actions, they act like they know you, and I agree, I wish to avoid such attacks, this stuff hits hard, they go to the source of our profiles, and lay slanders and words of hate that con fuse other people who came by to say "thanks for the watch or fave" then they see that shout, and are like, what is going on? What have I gotten into by watching this person?

        Sorry for the long post, it seems we have both been in the dark room before

          No no i actually love long posts, it shows thought, emotion and experience. I welcome good discussion! And I'll admit that alot of the woes could have been avoided had I been a more obscure name in the fandom. (I apparently grossly misjudged my popularity both negative and positive) allthough i still dont consider myself popular by any streach, I had people who would read something id posted, immediately assume it was about them or about certain people and then go tell those people id said something, and my words were further twisted to be something they weren't It's very very hard to DISPROVE intent once someone says "no they meant THIS" the moment people assume that your intent was X and someone beleives them its very hard to prove otherwise because all it really takes is a person's influence to say "yes this is what this person beleives, because i say so and heres the 'evidence'" when really all of it is implied but to thier circle of friends and the people that choose to beleive them, its very hard to sway that erranous opinion BACK toward its original intent which was not NEARLY as malicious as people have made it out to be.

            I find it funny that people use messages from online, as proof, when they are just words and can be used in a sarcastic manner, yet people freak out and spit hate like they know you,

    Totally understandable; I think that we all need to put up stronger barriers around ourselves in a world as open as the internet, though sometimes we feel that everyone needs to hear (or rather, read) all of our thoughts.

    It's alright. I understand.

    Friends are friends. For others, while they are most likely good people, it takes a while at the edges. I like Gen's take on the whole matter, "Dinner and a movie before you ask that." :)

    I can still follow you right?

    • Link

      but of course! THAT is encouraged!

    I've been only friending people who I hang out with at meets/cons... but if someone feels I am more a friend than a simple watcher I will accept their request. So most I haven't friended just up to them. :)
