When someone bares their soul...does it change your opinion of them?

Question

the "I never" game: Last night there was some pretty revealing postulation going on....
were you surprised by some of the questions / responses and did it change your opinion of your friends?

I changed my opinion in that I love and respect you all, all the more
:)

Answer 1

I wasn't on during that. But if I believe someone is truely "baring thier soul" to me, that means they're being honest with both me and themselves about something very personal and I respect them deeper for that. More so for being honest with themselves than for being honest with me.

Answer 2

Rammie, When folks "bare their souls" to me I feel that they are opening themselves up. I find that to be a very courageous thing to do because they are making themselves vulnerable to atttack, ridicule, and insults. It gives me a LOT of insight to what and HOW they think as well and I find that I'm able to understand and love them even more. And NO, it didn't change a single thing for the negative. It DID let me see SOME of you in a newer light and make me appreciate you ALL the more.

Answer 3

I bared my soul a few weeks ago on my blog. I only left it up a few days because it was so personal.

I was not interested in what others thought really, it was some closure for me. I did get some wonderful support from friends.

I know how hard that was for me and I can appreciate it when I see someone else reveal that which they keep inside.

Answer 4

Ah, last night was kind of tame, lol.

I mean, there was no "I never killed a hooker and buried it in my father-in-law's basement, and then called the cops on him' or 'I never enjoy sex unless I'm punching a baby' type revelations. I know all types, and I've done a few things here and there, so it takes a LOT for me to change my opinion of someone in a negative way.

They're should be a Y!A 'I never' section so we don't get deleted.

Answer 5

Honestly, I'm glad to find out that I'm not the only Christian who is still human when another Christian bares their soul to me. I wasnt online last night, i just got internet at my new residence today. I'm wishing I could have been though! When do you all play these games?

God Bless Everyone, have a good evening!

Answer 6

The raid just made me love my own peeps more, and gave me an opportunity to communicate with some new people. United under the "Flag of Silliness," we had a grand time. Did you find that site that tells what the statute of limitations is for all crimes? Not that I am worried....just find the dang sight already!

Answer 7

I missed most of it but I did enjoy what I saw. It was encouraging to find that I was not the only one who has done some stuff that was "crazy". I see that everyone is just human and I do respect them more. I only had one question deleted, but I only posted 2.

Answer 8

Yes sometimes. I asked a question last week and was so shocked by how someone that I didn't expect, showed love and compassion and revealed my prejudice. (Ouch!) and gave me a new respect for that person.

Answer 9

Who knew Patrick fluffed? LOL. We are all people who go through life the best we can. All religions (or lack of) aside, we connect on the human level. That is really nice. :)

Answer 10

I didn't see this stuff. To answer, sometimes it does change my opinion of them or at least my outlook.

I understand that person better.
