Resolved Question

Do you tell your friends and family about EP?

I don't tell my friends or family about EP because then I can't be free to be myself. I tell them about it and about the interesting stories, however they don't know it's called EP. Do you guys feel the same way or are you open to them hearing all your feelings and thoughts and responses to other people's questions?

No. This is my sounding board and my place to be free and me. I don't have to censor myself or be afraid I would hurt a family or friends feelings.

Akuhei	Posted Aug 24th, 2009 at 10:28AM I don't bother telling anyone about it. I'd prefer to have some privacy that I don't get at my house. It's easier to vent things online than to friends in case I accidentally said something I wasn't intending them to hear or to talk about things they wouldn't discuss. I'm never really an open person offline and I'd prefer to keep it that way at the moment. Rated: +2Vote for this!

Enfinitee	Posted Aug 24th, 2009 at 1:12PM No WAY! This is private. Here at EP the point is being anonymous. Nobody knows who you are. If you invite someone to EP, that ruins the point. They see all your posts and comments, and know who you are. Rated: +2Vote for this!

23rdcamp	Posted Aug 24th, 2009 at 9:45AM I recommend EP to some and my siblings are aware I'm doing EP. However I rather have my account hidden from them Rated: +1Vote for this!
2Emotional	Posted Aug 24th, 2009 at 9:51AM I've told some people. They think it's a waste of time, my coming on here. These are some of the same people who love Facebook and MySpace, where you hardly have to be creative at all. Rated: +1Vote for this!

SSS888	Posted Aug 24th, 2009 at 10:09AM I sent the link to a friend but never said I joined or gave SN. I want to use it for me, and be able to share open and honest, and anonymously! Rated: +1Vote for this!
justMeeka	Posted Aug 24th, 2009 at 10:13AM If I thought my husband would remotely be interested in EP I would tell him. However, that would involve taking an interest in ME so EP is my sanctuary Rated: +1Vote for this!
verycheeky	Posted Aug 24th, 2009 at 10:28AM i have friends that could use this site badly but i don't tell them. only because i want to be free to say whatever and i don't want them to use it when i am on it. Rated: +1Vote for this!
Jasmine01	Posted Aug 25th, 2009 at 3:24AM No, my daughter 'invited me' to be a member but I was already a member but did not tell her that. I said I would 'look it up' and said it was a cool site but have never told her or anyone my username. I want to be anonymous so I can totally be myself without any 'secrets' coming out, if there are any. Rated: +1Vote for this!
Zabou	Posted Aug 25th, 2009 at 8:18AM Yep, I'm with the majority here. I don't mind talking about what I do on the site, but I never reveal my screen name, or even go into detail over the name of EP. Rated: +1Vote for this!
