Why do people fear revealing something personal about themselves? What causes the fear? Is it because people are scared to put themselves out there because they fear ridicule, awkward situations, other reasons? I find it interesting, and I am not saying I am not guilty. But in light of this new quiz, or whatever you choose to call it, my curiosity

well, the best answer to that question would be that

1. the person answering the question a. doesn't want anyone to know who they like, because it is simply something that people don't need to know

2. the person answering the question knows that the person they like will read the quiz results and don't want them to know

3. the person answering the question doesn't want to ruin any chances that he/she may have with said person or anyone else that is a "prospect" that might be reading the quiz results

those are the best ways I cant think to answer your contemplation, or perhaps they don't really like anyone and fear ridicule because of that...althougth that one is a bit weird

those are obvious and way to easy to use for excuses. 1 and 2 are pretty much the same, they dont want the other person to know. Whats the point of liking someone and not letting them know, if they never know, then ur feelings go to waste. Also, in 3, I dont see how stating a name would ruin chances, it would let the other person know and reading it here wuldnt change their reaction if they heard it elsewhere. By stating it mite actually make the other aware of it and start something, not ruin something.

But would you say in a quiz who you like? B/c if you are wondering why people don't do it, then you should be able to say also.

sadly at the moment i dont really have a crush on anyone, if u remember my quirks i said i have a hard time liking someone, and yes i realize this seems very convienent. So ill say of u r curious about anything/anyone ask and ill tell.

shane: nobody knows him
and if u must know u were my last crush b4 mark.

i hope ur satisfied.

[whoknowsy05]

[full_of_faith2]

B/c of trust

[googleybear1030]

haha. this is ridiculous. at least i've gained some points, right?

[googleybear1030]

[whoknowsy05]

LOL, u guys act like im holding a gun to..my head..threating to kill...myself...if u dont make me happy and divulge ur crushes. i mean, thanks for the concern..i guess..but dont u all feel so much more relieved and happy..lol.

and go nic, cuz 4 of them go to our school, and not everyone here, me excluded, knew about them.

[juxtaposer14]

ya I know...I'm not suprised people didn't know...probably shouldn't know...but ya...

and well, I don't want you to kill yourself...even if you are a loser :)

[googleybear1030]

haha. i did. that's just cuz i'm good like that.

[juxtaposer14]

oh an no, I don't feel better about myself..if anything more embarassed...but maybe it's better to have things out in the limelight...

then again..maybe it's not...

oh well...kinda have that f*** it attitude right now...

You assume that, because we do not disclose our current romantic pursuits in a quiz, we have no intention of doing so in the future or perhaps in a more appropriate venue. Honestly, if and when I want any crush or crushes that I may or may not have to become common knowledge, I will have no problem in sharing that information with whomever I choose. In the mean time, I'm not going to post a comprehensive list of my crushes because if I had wanted to do so, I would have already regardless of any subsequent urging.

[juxtaposer14]

ok that is what I was trying to say...now I feel like a pansy for giving into your evil ways JPMORGAN...well, it seems...that Ali has outsmarted me again...

and the rest of us for that matter....good comment there Ali

[whoknowsy05]

i like that kind of argument..if that was said earlier this probably wuldnt have gone as far..and thats cool..its human...but u can say that, doesnt mean its true..i dont really know how much of a problem u wuld or uwld not have. and i think i did mention that this was out of context of the quiz..the quiz just sparked my interest. but it is people's nature to be afraid of divulging or actimg on their feelings, which was my point. i think we all have this problem and it just interested me. i never asked for a list of crushes, they were freely given.

i know since its typed ur tone can be misconstrued, but i hope ur not annoyed by this.

Not in the least, and I am sorry if my post sounded a tad presumptuous. That came out sounding more bitchy and arrogant than the innocent bit of fun I intended.
