I think I must be gullible - I've never read anything that I thought couldn't be true - a bit daft maybe, but that's all, lol!! (and who am I to talk ?) :-D

mayby im gullible but i believe what i see unless proven otherwise

from someone who has had it hard. :-D

There are probably some exaggerations on here at times, rather than out and out porkies (and I'm not singling out anyone past or present). As has been said earlier, this is a lifeline for some folk, and if it helps them to talk on an anonymous Internet page, about various problems, so be it.

But as most of us have probably heard the saying- if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. It may be old, but good advice.

As long as no harm is done to any one, read the posts, chuckle or frown, and pass on.

;-) Ann !

Yes, fair to say that Rose!

oh I think it's fair to say there are a small minority of people who tell outright lies on this board :-D

I believe there are some whoopers told on here but donot tell people that because if you do you get shot down in flames :-D

im all for helping people ,i have no problem with genuine illnesses.its nice to be able to give advice and feel that you have made a difference in someones life,i little bit of advice goes a long way.but sometimes i cant help but not believe some of the things people are saying.x

There are some people on here who I believe may be a little emotionally or even mentally fragile.

I try to hold back from anything they write on here because I feel I could write something that may lead them to a worse place.

I tend to agree with Tess. Some people find 'talking' on here about aspects of their lives helpful and, for the most part, I'm sure the stories are genuine.

Jean, that is a gorgeous cat!

l know that Jean has poor health and l also know others on here do too!!
l'm sure they're have been some porkies told but on the whole l believe people.

l have been one of those who in the past felt a great comfort talking about my background on here, l don't now because l don't need to, well on the whole l don't!

For alot of people these boards are very important, and probably their main source of conversation with people, so be careful what is said please!!

Take care

I know how it must look at times, but I can assure you that anything I have posted is genuine, my health really is poor, but before that i had what was to me an interesting life Some lucky ones keep their health and strenth until very old, but not al of us are so fortunate. I am not thinking that i in partular am being singled out, but if I have a lot of problems , so must others and I deeply sympathise with them.

I think that most "stories" on here are probably true.
Yes, some people seem to have a little of misfortune, but as we and our friends and family get older, our bits and pieces don't work so well (if at all) ditto for the bits and pieces on our cars, computers, washing machines, cookers etc.
A lot of people seem to have a run of bad luck "it never rains but it pours".

Possibly also if people on the boards had a run of good luck. e.g. got an ideal new jog, won some money, passed all their exams with an A+ had the most perfect partner, children, house, life etc.
The rest of us would think, bighead, she/he is boasting or I don't believe it.


On the other hand, if someone feels the need to fantasize and or attention seek, we can either _ Ignore them. Or give them the attention they crave, wether positive or negitive.
But their little dramas take nothing away from us, perhaps they reinforce how lucky we are to have such easy humdrum lives ourselves.

Tess

merlin.
as a matter of fact, i do come from Alabama and the banjo is sitting on my knee as we speak.xx

With regard to the mother thread. On here was probably the first time anybody believed me when I tried to explain about mine.

We children of narcissists are used to being disbelieved or having the subject abruptly changed and to have others contribute similar experiences was one of the most emotional experiences I have ever had.

Must go now,have to lock the Ferrari and put the unicorn to bed.

I keep on looking for the LIKE button :-D

Too much time on FB methinks :-D :-D :-D ;-) :-D :-D :-D
