Do you ever feel like people may think you're a creep on iin?

I've recently realized that some of the shit i say on this site may be misinterpreted a creepish. And i've seen other people's post that may be also, but i don't know them so i can't say whether they are actually weirdos or not. I've written replies to people that when i was about to post it i changed because of not wanting to give them the wrong idea once i thought how they may take it. I have also went ahead and posted some too. Mostly this thought stems from not getting a reply back. It leaves the mind to wonder how they interpreted it. Why it is that they did not respond. I know that i'm not some internet stalker weirdo, but do they? I was posting things freely because i know myself. Not to sound like a self absorbed ass, because i'm not, i get told i'm good looking all the time, no shortage of chicks hitting on me, pretty intelligent, i can be very charming and funny when i want, i've had tons of gfs, and far from desperate. But these people know nothing of this, they could see me as some basement dwelling vile pervert making advances on them via keyboard. Anyway, do you ever hesitate to post shit you wanna say, either a joke or simple compliment, because you wonder how you'll be perceived? The title is the question and feel free to add whatever.

Yes 17
No 14
I am a creep. 29
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    When you were here before
    Couldn't look you in the eye
    You're just like an angel
    Your skin makes me cry

    You float like a feather
    In a beautiful world
    I wish I was special
    You're so fucking special

    But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
    What the hell am I doing here?
    I don't belong here

    I don't care if it hurts
    I want to have control
    I want a perfect body
    I want a perfect soul

    I want you to notice
    When I'm not around
    You're so fucking special
    I wish I was special

    But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
    What the hell am I doing here?
    I don't belong here

    She's running out the door
    She's running
    She run, run, run, run
    Run

    Whatever makes you happy
    Whatever you want
    You're so fucking special
    I wish I was special

    But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
    What the hell am I doing here?
    I don't belong here
    I don't belong here

    I used to worry about sounding weird or stupid. Not creepy as such...just...odd. Just like in real life!

    Now, I honestly can't be bothered. If people think I'm a freak, so be it.

    It's not like I'm a dog fucker or anything, so I know I'm ok.

    I have on occassion read a post from various users and immediately thought they were a creep/arsehole. Quite often with those, I've been proven wrong after reading a few more of their posts, so now I'm slower to judge. Though when someone's consistently an arsehole in their posts, I feel free to judge :)

    And you don't come across as a creep, OP. I think it's pretty clear when you're joking around.

    • Good. So i can tell you i'd get all up on that ass without you getting a weird vibe? Haha kidding.

      Really though, you do seem like a cool chick. See, i would rarely say that to people because i'd second guess how they may take it. But i think you're level headed enough to take it for what it is, a simple compliment that doesn't mean i want to stalk you or some shit.

      I'll even give you a hint as to who this is and you can judge if my posts ever give that incorrect impression. I called you the australian nanny last time i talked to you ;)

        You don't want to stalk me? Sadface. Can I stalk you, then?

        Oh, I already knew who you were, btw. I have magic powers. Or some shit like that.

        Which is why I could say with confidence that I don't think you're a creep. You're one of my favourite people here.

        ...Sigh. Admitting I like users on here is the only thing that DOES make me feel creepy.

        • What? I get permission to stalk you? Oh, that's a whole different story. Well, i better see what i can do about catching a plane to Australia. I'll see you shortly, but you won't see me. Mmuahaha ;)

          You knew who this was? I must have a more identifiable writing style than i thought or you are magic. Damn this is going to be tough, stalking a magic chick.

          And i appreciate that you like what i write. Put a big stupid grin on my face :D you're far from creepy in telling me that.

            Well that's just great. Now I've gone and laughed out loud on the train. Now instead of the IIN community thinking I'm creepy, it's happening in the real world. Thanks.

            I'm going to have the stalker song stuck in my head all day.

    That's part of the reason for this sight being anonymous, even if people perceive you as a creep, you can give your honest opinions and it doesn't matter!

    I'd love to know who is OP so I could see if I think he is a creep or not, lol.

    • Even on an anonymous site you gain a reputation. And if you frequent this site you don't want that reputation to be one of a "creep." Though these people don't know you in real life they know you by your username, it's not as if every comment you post on here says "anonymous." But you're right it doesn't have any real life consequences.

      A perfect example of this i've seen on here is where somebody will find a user attractive from their profile pic. They will say "you're pretty" or "you're good looking." And rather than politley giving a simple "thank you" or "aww that's sweet" they give no response. It leaves the user to wonder how they took the simple compliment. I mean, this is the internet and though you know you're not a some weirdo others don't know you and may misinterpret your attempts to put a smile on their face or make them laugh.

        This. And I also believe I got a creep rep just from stating that I believe the word creep is abused as any man who's a bit shy or clumsy with girls or plain ugly gets labelled like that nowadays.

    Any action I say online I will always apologize for it to not misinterpreted as creepy. I hate that word "Creep." I've been called that before numerous times by girls just for smiling and being polite to them. It's frustrating trying to be nice to people sometimes.

    I'll read through my response to check ive got the tone about right, but ultimately I don't worry a whole lot if someone thinks my response makes me a creep. It's a site based on opinions, so you're bound to clash with others at some point. Differences of opinion don't faze me at all, but I can have a fairly low tolerance for stupidity or ignorance.

    • This IIN site is kind of like a small community. And people's personalities come through in their replies to others (as well as their main posts, but that's not really what i'm talking about here). So lets be honest, you do care, at least a little, about the reputation and persona you have on this site. If you truly have no shame reply to this with the most reprehensible, disgusting creepiest thing about yourself, your darkest secret which will forever be associated with your username. I think you'll be hesitant.

        Honestly, I would, there is one thing I could tell you, but it's illegal and not in a petty, casual way. I don't trust this site with the kind of information that'll actually implicate me.

        So I guess I'm not entirely unhindered, uncensored with what I share. But the motivation for not sharing is not because I am concerned about my reputation or persona. I don't think I even have a reputation or a particularly distinct persona here (although I guess others are the best judges).

  • Shackleford96

    I think a true creep doesn't really have to try to be creepy, they just are. I say some jokingly creepy things sometimes, but as far as fear of being perceived as a true creep on here, I think by now everybody knows me well enough to out that possibility. I am conscientious of my reputation on here quite often though if that says anything.

    I am so stuck on trying to figure out who you are now after reading some of the comments on this poll... I'm not even going to try guessing though; I'm a horrible guesser...

    • we talk fairly often if that tells you anything. Really, the more i think about it, if somebody can't take a joke or compliment for what it is then fuck 'em. I'm secure enough in my own uncreepiness. I think i came of as being more concerned than i really am. It was also an opportunity to create a poll that i had not seen before after i see people bitching about the same old shit on this site. I thought it was an interesting topic of user communication and was wondering  if other people were curious how their replies were perceived. I studied a little bit of psychology in college and it still interests me and this is one of those things where someone's own experiences, attitudes, and preconceived notions influence their perception of another's motives.

        That tells me nothing! I agree though. Some people just don't have a sense of humor. As long as you are secure about yourself, it really doesn't matter what others perceive you as. Good poll too, it's definitely unique. People do tend to bitch about stuff on here a lot. Hell, I'm guilty of it myself I'm sure...

        I guess I will have to take a guess now. Are you the ever-renown IIN pun king?

  • Well, the early poll results are showing that this is a common feeling of not wanting to be misjudged. It also shows that a lot of people do consider themselves creeps here......creepy. Or they're just choosing that option because it's there.

  • dappled

    Well, there's no correlation between how someone looks and whether they are a creep or not. Being good looking doesn't justify behaviour. Or it shouldn't, at least.

    As for your issue, though, there is such a wide spectrum of people here from different backgrounds, different countries, at different stages of their life, I think it's inevitable someone is going to misunderstand you or think something about you that isn't true. It's happened to me on many occasions. I've also been told unpleasant things about myself that, on reflection, were valid points.

    Don't go off replies, though. I probably reply more often than I should (just out of politeness, usually) but most people just take the point and leave it at that.

    • I'm aware that someones looks doesn't necessarily determine their level of creepiness. I'm sure there are some Adonises that are the epitome of creepiness as well those society would not deem as attractive that are completely benign. I only wrote that, along with the other descriptions, to imply that i am not starved for female affection, a trait of many creeps. Again, not saying people who don't fit that description are inherently creeps.

I didn't see your post as an attack and my reply wasn't an attack either. My point was simply that people who can easily get women don't usually resort to making inappropriate advances on some advice website. Damn this post makes me sound arrogant, i'm actually quite modest.
