is anyone on yahoo as open in real life?

Question

are you able to ask the same questions openly and honestly to someone "in real life" or is it much easier when no one knows who you really are. probably a rhetorrical question but i would like to hear the answers

Answer 1

For me, it's much easier being who I am, even on here, than it is to try to remember who I'm suppose to be and what my agenda is suppose to be. Personally, I'd prefer to be able to ask and answer some of the questions in real life and have the ability to open an honest discussion.

Answer 2

I'm open in real life, but I only push people to open their minds, which means for some people telling them I'm an Atheist is borderline making them think I'm a psychopath. Other people won't mind so much so I'll go further and further until they think I'm nuts, which is right around when I talk about Descartes and link it to various things in reality & the movies.

Less than a handful of people have ever made it past that point, and they are my friends. Very intelligent people, or at least very open minded.

A guy I know once told me "You know, you have a certain weirdness about you but once you get past that, you're really smart. Scary, but smart."

Greatest compliment I've ever received =D

Answer 3

I ask a question here like i would in real life, if I wouldn't ask it here I wouldn't ask it anywhere else... although it is a little bit easier asking here, because in real life people don't say what they think or feel so I feel more comfortable saying what i think and feel when others are doing the same.

Answer 4

My personal opinion. People are less intimidated on yahoo answers than in real life, cause they don't have to hear the other persons answer face to face. I on the other hand am always open and honest on here as in person. I have no fear of confrontations and I keep an open mind.

Answer 5

after having lived 54 years i know that the only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked. not only am i open with other adults but i allow my children to ask any question they want about any subject. i am always frank but i try to answer in language that they can understand. some of the times my answer elicits more questions. in my opinion if they are old enough to understand the question, they are old enough to understand the answer. the base result is: one child just scored the highest score on the psat test in her school district. she is a national junior scholar and has received offers from several colleges even though she is only a freshman. my son is in the 5th grade but functions in math and reading at the 9th grade level. besides who gets embarrassed when you ask an "open" question? i think the one that feels obligated to answer.

Answer 6

Its the format. human beings are the following asking questions and for the most section are patently searching for solutions. And if it really is the case, i do not recommendations taking my time and sharing my personal reviews with someone if it would help them circuitously. you won't be able to continually attempt this with head to head relationships because they're diverse and are pushed through diverse situations. As to the asker, the following you could ask precisely what you desire. In head to head situations there's a lot more beneficial bags and typically human beings make judgements from what they imagine they study an asker and that colorings their answer. Or the question is of one of those nature that they don't opt to probability entrusting it to every person they understand. and typically the solutions the following advise talking to someone of their reality international, each and every each and every now and then, innovations of human beings that the asker would have not seen themselves. regrettably tho the following besides, they typically get the turn, dismissive sentiments they probable have received interior the authentic international besides. yet for the most section human beings listed the following are patently worried and attempt complicated to assist and that i'm making a guess it really is the clarification human beings are more beneficial open to asking the following, because they're getting something they don't seem to be getting everywhere else.

Answer 7

Yes, I am. But then again I am "crazy". lol
Actually, I am incredibly blunt, and difficult to live with but I am honest. Sarcasm was a tool I used in the past, now I am more direct. My family and friends are all used to me, they know what to expect. I will tell them exactly how I feel on any topic, positive or negative. Lately I have been trying to soften my negative comments, it is a challenge, but I think necessary. I often use humor to express my views, but at times it falls short of the mark.

Answer 8

I think I am a fairly open person and have little trouble asking questions. I love to learn about new things and I think I have surprised some people with the questions I have asked.

Answer 9

Hummm,hard question,because in "real life " I would not meet so many different people from so many different places,and would not be able to think about my answer and check the spelling ,etc, I would probably give the same anuses that I give in here,but it is unlikely that I would be asked.

Answer 10

I have a shy personality, so I'm not always open. Actually, there are people I'm open with, but I'm VERY selective about that. Some things I only reveal on here because no one knows me personally, and sometimes it pays not to bee too open with people you know, because if you tell them too much, a person might want to end up in your private biz too much.
I'm open, but I proceed with caution. Some people I'm not open with.
