The Isolation Diaries

Just some thoughts and musings whilst remote working in self isolation...

Hello cagebots,

 

I have a bit of question for you all.  I am aware that some may take it as a personal attack but it’s not intended that way.

 

I think the best way to ask it is offer up a bit of background.

 

In my time knocking about and talking to different people various kink sites I found found that many folk don’t seem to show much personality outside of what role they are in a bdsm setting.  


I do struggle with these peoples as I like people and making friends with them before any kind of dynamic.  Unfortunately it seems like many people just want to project an image that may not be there true selves, window dressing.  I get it the internet is all about But because of this I can only assume that they have nothing else going on.  This is I should note, in chat/message interactions, not profiles.

I have to say, this not something I have experienced here as many people seem to be pretty genuine.

 

Anyways, onto the question.  How much of your personality on here is defined by your role?  

an example, I am a sub male however I don’t submit to everyone I speak to., though I am always respectful...I’m not a total dick.

 I like to get to know people and explore connections before considering submitting to someone.  If you are ever speaking to me in chat or through blogs I am exactly as I would be if you were standing infront of me.

 

So i hope that made sense.  Like I said I hope nobody takes offence at this.  It’s just something that I’ve noticed on my journey’s through the internets.

 

also if you made it this far down well done, that was a whole lot of words.  I would offer to add you into a raffle by way of reward unfortunately I lack a tombola and any prizes.  Let’s not forget the fact that raffles just stress me the fuck out.

 

 

 

SirsBabyDoll​(sub female){Pizza+☕} - When in was quite active on another social media platform, one of my friends happened to be someone I had met on a DIFFERENT playeform many years earlier. We had never spoken on the phone not have we ever met each other in person. One day, we actually DID speak to each other on the phone and SHE said that I sounded EXACTLY like I read. So, to answer your question, I am me, completely. I take great pains to write how I speak. Now, meet me in person and that's a different aspect. I am quite shy during face to face interactions (unless we have been talking for a long time). There are a few people here that can attest to that fact as I have been on video calls with them for hours on end.

badmonkey​(sub male) - It is interesting to see how folks are in real life. I met my wife online and had been speaking for a long time. She was exactly as advertised.

Prior to that I had met a couple of others and they were totally different, either a lot quieter than they made out or just totally different personality.

Laylamini​(dom female) - Good morning! I've noticed the same thing on a lot of these sites (not an attack, just an observation). I was having such difficulty choosing a sub in the beginning because I couldn't seem to hold a non-kink related conversation for more than a few minutes. It was like regular everyday chit chat wasn't happening organically. Thankfully I seem to have found quite a few interesting people, it just takes some sorting through. For some individuals, their only objective is to talk about kink as it may be the only safe space in which they can express that side of themselves.

badmonkey​(sub male) - I think your right there, it is an escape for some folks. It also requires a good bit of vetting at times.

Laylamini​(dom female) - Yes! A whole lot of vetting! I've met 1 person IRL from chatting online....we were both extremely different in person. I give off "Bad Bitch Energy" online, but I'm just a shy anime geek in person. 😂

badmonkey​(sub male) - Anime geek is certainly a bit of a change from bad bitch lol

Max Heathen​(other male) - I usually mix my conversation between the kink, Rp and the personal if I'm looking for our other partner. Myself, I address nearly everything from rigging/bondage to if they hope to be a stay at home or wanting permission to hold a job.
If I don't feel I can ask about the vanilla everyday, then I start to ask what they are hiding because evasive answers, unwillingness to talk about reality means they are just talking game. With that said, some are only here for the kink & hookup, but each to their own 😁

Rivermxl - To answer your question with loose statistics from my experience, if I've spoken to 100 people here, I've touched kink themes with 20% of them and out of that 20%, maybe 8% were kink talks that could lead somewhere else, rest of it is the mix of talking casual kink, which I don't think you mentioned but that I believe is a thing and I enjoy it. Kink discussion with no agenda.

Hope you're doing well!

ErosRising​(dom male){Hekate} - I am as I am. I listen and I speak. Both hear and in person. Everything depends on the energy that is created with the people that I speak with. I write hear what I am thinking and feeling. And when I talk to others I try to covey the same things. Although, I do find it easier to put the words down on paper. But in all, I am a what you see here is what you get. Good, Bad, or Indifferent.

SweetSirRendering​(sub female) - i think it is totally based on the person over the site. i present myself exactly as i am, both online and in person, less what is held back until an individual can be let in deeper. wishing you the best of luck

SageFlame​(sub female) - Wow, thanks bad monkey! I have been mulling over similar thoughts lately. Very cool to open a discussion.

If you read people you read people! Much is missed without the nuances of nonverbal communication but the fashion, syntax, verbosity, lack of words, etc all tell; But instead of chapters read by a person's presence it is pages. ( and some offer bread crumbs)

Even a persona is telling! A brick wall on the internet can be much the same in person; the same for the unfiltered outspoken. On this fantastic spectrum of individuality there are those who have beautiful minds yet struggle to put things into words; moreover, cautious and hesitant to trust. So I like to receive others with a cushion of compassion. Whoever they are comfortable being ( showing) on the veiled internet is still a part of who they truly are in real life.

Authenticity is something I value greatly. I endeavor to bring myself in all situations. This doesn't always go over well ( with others) but I'm totally okay with that. There are plenty of people who get me and at the end of the day I just need to be okay with myself.

Which leads me to this - let it BE.

After all, YOU are the one who gets to decide who to let in. ( wink and a smile)
