Are you as open, friendly and non-judgmental in your daily life as you are on Eden? Why or why not?

i don't think as much, simply because forums are in writing, which is far easier for me to self edit. in real life I'm more prone to snap judgements and blurting out the wrong thing because there's no "post" button to force me to reexamine what I've written.

Wow.... JS250... I am loving your threads!!!

I would love to say honestly yes, yes I am. But the truth of the matter is... I am, but I try my best not to be, it is one of those things I am working on to become a better person.

I am very open and friendly and non-judging towards my friends and students and people I meet who have a different sexual preference than I. I enjoy their company just as I would anyone who I let into my life.

But when it comes to those who are transgendered, or were born with the wrong body, I fight with myself trying to wrap my head around the whole idea of it. I mean I cannot really understand it, as I've never been in their situation and that is part of my problem. It is not that I don't accept them and I do not judge them, I just cannot understand. And that is what causes me to pause and to question. So in real life, no matter the situation, I just start going all curious and banging off questions trying to understand and many assume that I am being judgmental and mean, but I am just searching for answers.

To those who are into furry play and what I consider to be the imposing BDSM'ers, no. In real life, no. Here online, I can just pretend I walked away from the computer and forgot, or closed the tab or what not, but in real life, I do judge them. In real life, the furries I giggle at and I cannot seem to help it. The imposers, make me laugh and get all frustrated because they seem to feel that because I like spankings and nipple clamps and some bondage it means I am into BDSM and therefore must be seeking a dom.

Hopefully I explained this well!!!

I haven't changed my views or the way I am towards anyone at all.

I am, yeah. I could care less what a person is/does/etc, etc. It's just not a thing that's up to me to judge. :3

I think I'm very open. If you're a decent human being, that's all that matters to me. I may not know terms but I'm always willing to learn.

I think I have the same tolerance and non-judgementalness in my daily life as I do here---but I have definitely learned the specific details of so many more things and lifestyles here. And I have "names" to put to them, like before when someone would say "trans*" I would say "that's cool, I support that," but now I can think "Oh, I can relate to things Misha's Amusements or [other people] would have said about X thing," and I feel more like I can have useful things to contribute to a conversation. And I help raise awareness about things more since I can speak with a little more knowledge.

Yay sharing knowledge!

Open - no, I am quite private of a person in real life. Friendly and nonjudgmental, absolutely. I don't always understand people, but I don't judge without good reason to.

I am non judgemental everywhere I go. boring but true the only thing I am against is anyone doing anything that affects another without consent.
and obviously anything to do with sexualizing children, animals or dead people
there was a post I made a while back that may have made that unclear, it was flagged and I was chastised and quite embarrassed so for anyone who recognizes my name I apologize.
thing is I would have said what I said to maybe one or two people in my life but I forgot just how large and varied a community eden is.

I am definitely just as open-minded no matter where I am. As for openness, it depends on the people. I prefer to keep certain this private about my life. I'm not really outgoing anywhere ever, but I will be nice to anyone who is nice to me regardless to EF or in my daily life.

If I wasn't, I would be a massive hypocrite. If I don't understand something, I try not to judge until I know more and if it doesn't hurt anyone I'm never going to care, honestly.

I do try to follow the Golden Rule.

I'm as friendly and non-judgemental in person as I am online, but I'm not open about sex to everyone. Yes, I tell my 2 best male friends about my newest toys and I used to have show n tell about 1 * a month with my very best male friend but that's not going to work out anymore because his gf is sooooo posessive of him that she's decided to work with him so he's in her sight at all times. Saddens me because me and him have been friends 68% of her life (she's several years younger than us and she was just a little kid when me and him became friends)and now I will no longer be able to see my very best friend or be able to text him because she's going to be with him 24/7.

In my real life I am very shy and would not say many of the things I feel free to share here. My attitudes are the same though even if I'm not as vocal about it.

In person, I'm very quiet and keep to myself unless something is asked of me. I will be happy to share with anyone who wants to start a conversation with me, but for the most part I have nothing to say to strike up a conversation. I can be judgmental, but nothing too bad. I try to very open and kind to everyone.

yes only god can judge so i don't feel i can it's not fair for me too

yes but I felt I was this way before Eden as well

The 'Cancel' Button is my best friend here. Otherwise the snarkiness will be ten times worse.

I guess that didn't really answer it. I am judgmental, but not a hypocrite about it. My main peeve is the lack of brains some people exhibit at times. That's about it.
