If You *REALLY* knew Me...
This idea came from a show on MTV that encourages High school students from different cliques to challenge their views of each other. Most all of us are out of high school for years and years now but this thread is here to allow a space for safely sharing ones vulnerabilities and to encourage mutual respect and a deeper understanding of the lives of other community members.
Lets respect the extent that people will feel comfortable divulging as much or a little information as they choose to share. This is NOT a space for personal issues with any other member/s on this site. Thanks! If you really knew me... You would know I have had a very stressful 2 years. I moved from N.J. to PA to take care of my 84 year old father who is going blind. I also took on the responsibility of 8 feral cats out back. If you really knew me you would now I am somewhat shy and this sometimes hinders me in meeting new people. If you really knew me...You would know I have been contented being single the last few years but would like to make some new friendships and start dating again. If you really knew me you would know they found a lesion in my brain last month on the frontal lobe and are doing another test in 6 months to monitor me for MS. If you really knew me you would know I have a slipper fetish. I own many, many slippers!!! I think you get the idea... |
great idea for sharing but also affirmations. I've been using a lot of self hypnosis and meditation lately.
If you really knew me you'd know that 10 years ago something happened that devastated me, changed my view of myself and world. Every year after seemed to spiral out of control and although I still achieved many goals there was a constant void , pain and fear within me. If you knew me before that you would have seen a vivacious woman that had an unreal zest for living. Strong, capable, beautiful and seductive. If you knew me you'd see how very hard I've worked to escape this doubt and heal. Today I am not the same woman I was even 2 months ago. If you knew me you'd see that finally, after so many years I have thrown off the weight of fear and liberated myself pain. If you knew me you'd see the sparkle starting to return and you'd feel the passion for life starting to brew. you'd know that its all me, no one that walks on this planet can make me happier then I can myself. If you knew me you'd know that animals are a very important part of my healing and should the truth be known I like then better than humans. |
If you really knew me: You would know that I am a carrying person and I chat with many people and that doesn't mean I'm " doing" anyone. I think it's healthy to have many friends but if someone is sulking over how many one person has friends then get out and make more friends yourself don't be jelious of someone else.
Because if you really know me: This time last year I wasn't a talkitive chatter. |
If you really knew me, you would know that I strive to make everyone I meet feel accepted, understood, and respected. If you really knew me, you would know I do this to receive the same in return. If you really knew me, you would have seen the growth I have done and the healthier and more confident person I have become, cherishing the scars of the past, to keep me from returning to that lower self. If you really knew me, you know that my trust, once given runs thick with love and protection. If you really knew me, I would really know you! |
If you really knew me, you'd know my outward appearance doesn't match how I've felt inside for almost a year now
If you really knew me, you'd know that it's hard for me to communicate in crowded rooms, on the phone and sometimes one on with a person if you don't speak loud enough or clear enough or don't annunciate your words If you really knew me, you'd know I'm a kind, caring person that can be a jerk at times and not realize it If you really knew me, you'd know I was an animal lover and would rescue them all if I had the time, money and room |
~If You really knew me, You'd be surprised.

If you really knew me you'd know how I think Im 10 feet tall and bullet proof during the day, but crash at night :) If you really knew me you'd know how complex and yet simple I can be If you really knew me you'd know I am an honest person If you really knew me you'd know that Simon is my world.

You would know that I find the greatest joy in the simplest of things You would know that when I love it is fiercely, passionately and completely without reservation and that I will lay my life down for those I love You would know that if you betray me I will walk away, no questions or explinations and I will never look back You would know that I still LOVE cartoons and will laugh out loud at I Love Lucy re-runs You would know what complete and utter acceptance is |
If you knew me you’d know that I seek not to agree but to understand.
That its not that I want to save the world but that witnessing bullying, intimidation and misuse of power will always make me rise. That love changed me. That I will begin to pace if I can’t see the sky. That I can often forgive but never forget. |

...I am an animal lover and would take in every stray and homeless animal I could if I had the means. ...I used to drag race when I was younger, but later on I didn't drive for a long time because even sitting in the passenger seat would give me panic attacks, and it still happens on occasion. ...I got the back of my head split open from being thrown from a bucking horse when I was 17. ...I started as a First Responder for the volunteer fire department when I was 16 because I like to help folks. ...I fall asleep best when there's heavy metal blasting through my mp3 player headphones. ...I would take a Dodge Ram pickup over a luxury car any day. ...I have a "degree" in parapsychology. :| ...I thrive on the unique and unusual. |
If you knew me you'd know that pancakes are sacred food to me. So when you f*** up my pancakes, you offend my sensibility. (I'm looking at you, Mimi's Cafe - not cool.)

If you really knew me you'd know how Ive made all my dreams come true except the one I want the most. To be someone's partner. To have found my soulmate.
If you really knew me you'd know I love animals but am very partial to dogs. If you really knew me you'd know Im very allergic to cats. If you really knew me you'd know I love Lifetime Movies If you really knew me you'd know I cry at romantic movies If you really knew me you'd know I dont have any patience If you really knew me you'd know all my friends are coupled If you really knew me you'd know Im a great person to know If you really knew me you'd know how it scares me to be vulnerable to anyone. If you really knew me you'd know that they just found my 20 year old neighbor dead from apparent suicide. He hung himself. He has been dead for at least 3 days before he was found. If you really knew me you'd know this has made me cry these last few days. Feeling so sad for this young man. And it really hitting home to me. Knowing that is my greatest fear to die in my apt and no one finding me for days. If you really knew me you'd know that I am ten feet tall and bullet proof as I stated before but Im so much more than that. Im very very tenderhearted. |
If you really knew me you'd know I love music.
If you really knew me you'd know Im truly headed to bed :) |
that I have a chronic medical condition called hydrocephalus.
That I hate canned green beans. that I love baseball. that I am a dedicated Daddy/husband, brother and son that I love video games, and would own every platform *if* I could afford it that lately, I've been falling asleep with the tv on ~SAB |
If you really knew me you would know I am not a morning person and it takes me some time to fully wake up in the morning. I can not just jump out of bed and off I go unless I wake up late for something.
If you really knew me you would know I have some issues about my body and weight. If you really knew me you would know I have just recently lost 30 pounds. If you really knew me you would know I would love to learn to love the body I am in. If you really knew me you would know I am very genorous to a fault and need to learn to say "no" to people sometimes. If you really knew me you would know how much I adore cats. I get up every morning to feed the ferals Cilla, Zach, Gracie, Juliet, Sneaky, Romeo, And two unamed as of yet. And my inside ex feral Punkin I have had for over 6 years now. If you really knew me you would know how hard it was this summer to get them all trapped, spayed and nuetered, shots, etc... And that 6 kittens had to be put up for adoption and I miss them but know I did the right thing. One was sick and I had to nurse him back to health. I named him Willie because he had the Will to live. It is so important to spay and neuter. If you really knew me you would know that I adore Butch Women. The more masculine the better. I find it very hard to meet them. I never rule out any human being I am attracted to but that is my preference. I have only had past relationships with very stone butches and I feel limited physically with them. I am not generalizing this was just my experiences. If you really knew me you would know I was married for four years back in 93 and I am still very good friends with my ex to this very day. He is very kind and totally gets and supports who I am. Most of my exes thought he was a great guy. If you really knew me you would would know I am a very open minded individual and need that same quality in my friends and partners. I share things about who I am and what I am about easily.The truth and honesty are very important to me. I have pretty good intuition but tend to believe everyone is a good person until they prove me wrong. |
i always carry fruit with me wherever i go, and in the car at a stop, after separating orange segments, i like to hold them up to the sunlight and look at them.

if you really knew me...
you would know that i struggle with my mental disorder daily you would know that i am passionate about cooking you would know that i have become a good listener in the last few years you would know that i love to cuddle |
If you really knew me
You'd know I can forgive anything but cheating That I look for the best in people even when they hurt me That I will stay in and work to make it right if I love you That I can be painfully shy - and have a negative side I work on constantly. That I've been a doormat and a chamelon for love but that I found my backbone and haven't the patience for that in my life anymore That I am very good friends with my exes - except for one - that relates to the cheating. That I still have a child like vulnerablity and tend to be gullible That I hate arguing and will just go silent rather than throw epitaths and add fuel to the fire. But if I'm doused with a molitov cocktail of verbal abuse my silence will end very abruptly If you knew me, you'd know I'm loyal - to my partner, family and friends. That I wear my heart and sometimes my hurt on my sleave If you really knew me. you'd know that I've overcome some major obstacles these past few months, and I've come out a stronger person and I'm not as gullible as I was once. |
you would know I want my bacon hard and my hashbrowns as brown and hard as my bacon. Eggs sunny side up and peppered so much you sneeze when you cook them
you would know I am winter...cold and hard and hard to take.... and I am summer...hot and ripe and playful and I am autumn...colorful, tantalizing and good enough to eat and I am spring...forever a new beginning and a giver of life and love if you knew me you would cross your legs when I came into the rooms because I am fierce and take no hostages but if you knew me better, you would slide your hand to the small of my back and watch as my lips part and you and only you would know the softness of my heart |
You would know that honor is important to me...
I am introverted... I believe manners are important... I love mint chocolate chip ice cream... I am goofy silly about dogs... I am the marrying kind.... I'm extremely loyal... I can be stubborn.... Noise and loud voices bother me (just happens, not a judgement thing)... I am willing to take a chance with love but not with someone that can't see that I am not the ex that hurt her.... we all get hurt, why let jerks take our future away.... You would love to come to my home for dinner! |
