Do we know too much?

What I find real interesting about the ETJ "family" is that probably any one of us could immediately become roommates, couples, etc. This place has really gotten down to the nitty gritty of all our everyday lives.....what kind of deoderant we use, who's on birth control, what we REALLY do in our down time or private time, what we eat, how much weight we've lost or gained, what brand of tampons we use....LMAO!

Anyways I think its pretty funny how willing we are to share all this on ETJ never "assuming" we're gonna meet one day, even if we actually do. Hell I acquired new sisters! I ain't the baby anymore!

Re: Do we know too much?

Very good thread!!!!

I believe that we only divulve as much as we feel comfortable sharing about ourselves. Yeah, you guys probably know more about me than some of my friends and family members, but it's all good.

The problem I have come across lately is that the more personal relationships that I start building on ETJ, the more I have to censor myself. I cannot always say what I feel, because now I have to keep other's feelings in mind.

Re: Do we know too much?

I know what you mean, when I first joined I thought it was a bit "weird" that you all shared so much personal info about each other. The post your picture thread I couldn't believe that some of you posted pictures of your children much more yourselves. Even now, with certain threads I can't believe some of the really personal stuff that are shared. I am pretty much a private person, no one knows my Childrens names only a few that I have spoken to on the phone know what my real name is. In a way I think it's great that we have someone here (on ETJ) to talk to and to confide in, and seek advice from. So if and when we meet it's like meeting an old familiar "friend"

Re: Do we know too much?

Well I been here a long ass time...longer than anyone except Ducani! And there are so many people I know here and value their opinions even if we disagree. But I've also met a select few really special people that I never expected to become close with and don't even really know how it happened.

Like Tia, I swear her and I are sisters but just don't know it. Her real name is even the same as my real sister's name. We've cried together, gone through some serious stuff together, and never even met. But that's soon to change!!

Re: Do we know too much?

YES!!!!!!!!!!! uno know too much
But this is only what I allow to give which seem like almsot everything!

I find it comforting to share and offer advice here. Writing something is better sometimes than hearing it. You guys have been like a small yet TALAWAH nit of friends and acquaintainces that money can't buy and one doesn't find easily in everyday life.

I must say that getting closer sometimes does cause problems because everyone wants you to take sides and still you hav eto be true and fair.

I don't bother me one bit because I am an open person. And ETJ has been my Jamaica away from home and one of my source to run to when I am tired, bored, stressed, happy, need to share something or whateva!

Re: Do we know too much?

for the first 2 years that i had internet service i never communicated with anyone outside of my established circle of friends. i thought that people meeting people "from the internet" was dangerous and weird. five years ago i would have never thought that i'd be making friends with people on the internet and even meeting them! since then i've met a few etjers (pooky, jamaica miss, kc, rastagirl) as well as others from other realms of "the net". i've come to realize that we're all just everyday people with computers.

it is funny how we could easily become roomies or the best of friends. i'm always joking with jc about how she knows my "deep dark secrets". but honestly, sometimes it seems like people here understand me better than my best friends or sisters.

Re: Do we know too much?

Of course you know too much. I can't believe how easily I just exposed myself on ETJ. There are a few people I would actually like to meet in person but I feel they know too much about me and I'd be vulnerable to them. I don't like people to know what I'm thinking all the time.
