Would you reveal yourself to an is it normal user?

Lets say by some random chance you figure out that your neighbor or co-worker is an establsihed user on iin. And you know they know of you because you've seen them around enough. Would you say hi? Introduce yourself as the man behind your account? Yes or no and why/why not?

Nope, never no matter what. 19
No unless it was a certain user or two that I really trust/like 23
About half of users I would want to meet, depends how much I like/trust them 3
Probably would unless it was someone I really don't like or trust 6
Would reveal to them no matter who it was 3
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

        It adds to the look of surprise.
        Plus it doubles as a storefront when selling hot watches.

        About that time, Jordache was also a popular clothing brand.
        I had one of their shirts and hated wearing it cause my older sister was all like, "Ohhh, you have the Jordache look!"
        Some old commercial that said that.

        But yeah I saw London Fog and thought, "When I was a real little kid I had one of those jackets"

            I remember Back to School shopping in 1984. I was about to start 4th grade. JCPenney had this jean jacket that had that "torn up" look, like the sleeves had been ripped off.
            I begged my mom to get it for me but to no avail. She didn't want to pay $80 for a torn up jacket.

            You know, trying to convince parents that you need to look cool in school, good luck.
            "Parents just don't understand" when he talks of school shopping was something I could relate to.

          Okay mate! Fair enough, however that really bugs me because every single time I meet someone knew they make a height joke. I'm getting sick if it. The air is a little thinner so I have to breath harder and its hard to see the ground with much detail. Now get over my height!

      C'mon rose. I was expecting you to be more sociable than that. Haven't you made some good pals on here over the years? If you sat next to me on an airplane and saw me on iin on ny phone commenting as doesnormalmatter, you would'nt say anything to me? If I saw you on there I would introduce myself right away! You seem like the type of person that would be fun to meet.

          I didn't vote,but realistically this would never come up as Im not a people's person. So even hypothetically it came up I still wouldn't prolong the interaction by mentioning it, unless I don't like them and they're getting a beatdown. hypothetically of course

    Hahaha nope United are fucking cunts. Turns out, their systems are like....several years behind? They're using technology my bank stop using years ago, apparently. And were rude on the phone. And will take 18-21 BUSINESS DAYS to reply to my email. And dont take calls weekends. Now I remember why I switched to Delta...hahaha.

    Insurance is my normal, Aus health insurance. I called them and they're being awesome about it. Bank has been great waiving fees cos they can see United are being retards.

    Omg. Please do that anyway. Your cats will probably hate it but we'll have fun :D

    I still have both! I'll msg you on fb so we can work out a time for a call.

    Statistically I’m most likely to meet the British IINers so Doesnormalmatter, LloydAsher etc. But you’re not really ment to talk on British trains so they’d think I was a weirdo or begger before I even told them the sordid truth.

    Most people on here seem alright, the only people I wouldn’t tell I was on here would be psycho trolls and maybe thegyspysailor if he was still around.

  • JellyBeanBandit

    Because of my social anxiety I rarely express any opinions in real life, nevermind opinions about important topics. So no one really knows anything about me, even my close family. So it'd be a huge shock to everyone the kind of controversial opinions that I've written on here. And because I've written more about them on here than on any other website, they could really get a good feel for my true personality by just reading through it all on here tbh. That would absolutely terrify me exposing my entire personality like that to be judged by the people whose opinions I care about most. So no, I'd never reveal this to anybody!

      I kinda get it. But what would you have to lose? I see not telling your family because they would judge you or be weirded out. But if I met you in real life and all we knew about eachother was what was on here, that you wouldn't have much to lose if all we knew about eachother was from iin.
