Lies and Truth

So of course I lie on SL....do you really think I am going to tell a stranger EVERY single detail about my life...someone I don' t even know? Sure- I'll tell some potential crazy stalker killer my life details so I can end up missing, raped and left for dead.

Well recently...the character I have created..my beautiful inner soul reflection, Emaleath- has met and befriended an interesting individual. When we first met...I was just playing into the story line..but now, he's become a really great companion in not only Emaleath's but my life.

So...there is the issue of feeling bad that I have lied about my life details up till now. Don't get me wrong, the main part is not a lie...I really am me on there..I just make sure the person I am talking to cannot find me...if they so chose to start searching.

And I understand that not everything that is told to me is truth. It's part of the cyber world game. And I take things with a grain of salt. It's a survival thing ;)

This person; however, has gotten under my skin. Somehow I think he's telling me all truth..and not a whole bunch of lies. Either he's a very good con..or genuinely real. It's hard for me to imagine someone who's so powerful on SL could be so truthful..but you never know. I need to reach further into his "mind" to make that judgement call.

I did reveal the main basics of my life though...stuff I probably shouldn't lie about in the first place..but my original intention of SL was to escape the crap of the RL. The stuff that I wish I could change..have different. SL is the dream- the perfection of life that cannot be found in RL.

I don't know...I guess I am just a guilty person who feels bad. I don't like lying. I really don't..deception is never a good thing. I just don't understand where the line of trust reaches the line of personal safety. And if I let someone in too much...I might lose myself. Make stupid decisions..what to do, what to do.
