Hello. I mentioned this last post, but I’m thinking about telling a normie about this place. My reasons aren’t really clear even to me. I just feel like I can’t stop keeping it in my head anymore. I just felt like asking what you think about this. I know smith said it was a bad idea, but I feel like I don’t have control of the situation anymore. What do you guys think?

if he/she wants to see it, and you are comfortable with them reading all your dirty little secrets, then it should be fine
The “normie” may not be all that normal themself.
Everyone has pain… Maybe some try to hide it or have different degrees. If they are worth it, they will understand.
Do what you want to do, do what you feel. If you’re asking others, maybe it’s because you want to show this person but are terrified. You want someone to sway you either way. If you want someone to see your deepest parts, it’s up to you.
I hope you figure out what you want to do
Telling a “Normie” about sp would likely be the equivalent of telling them your suicidal, it will be interpreted this way even if you aren’t. Are you prepared for that?
Bingo.
I’ve told normies about SP, but they were all older, over-educated peeps. I tell them I like to contribute to the community because I’ve been there. Note the past tense.
So, telling someone about SP is one thing.
SHOWING someone SP is another.
Showing someone SP and then identifying YOUR posts is an act that I would reserve for the most trustworthy persons.
“My reasons aren’t really clear even to me.” This a red flag. A drive to do something risky when the reasons for doing it (or the potential results) are unknown. Which reminds me of a joke:
A guy is working at a saw mill and hears, “ZING,” followed by his buddy saying, “Hey!”
He turns around and asks his buddy what was going on.
The buddy says, “I don’t know! I just suck my hand out like this…”
ZING
“Hey!”
Don’t be that guy.
Gotta agree with LMNO. I mentioned it in casual conversation, just MENTIONED that a site for this topic exists, the reply was, verbatim “Wow, that’s creepy” with scrunched up eyebrows. Just be prepared for a surprised reaction.
People may say that because they are nervous that if they say otherwise people will judge them? I don’t know.
Nobody knows. But I always wonder
Good point. It can be awkward. Uhh, no, IS awkward.
When I say, “Yeah I’m on this site because I like to help people,” I get a gentle caress and a brief flash of adoration. When I say, “Yeah I’m on this site because I like to help people and every six to twelve months I have an unquenchable thirst to destroy the monster that I am in an especially crafty and gruesome manner,” I get restraints.
I have introduced one normie to this site. The response was strong and fearful, as though I would become a suicide victim myself by coming here. I had to explain that is neither the intent nor the likely outcome. The Rules helped me immensely in making that point.
Interesting. Thanks, a1957. Glad that worked out for you too, I’m sure you saw how I presumed the total opposite.
Best of luck, OP. I’m still keeping it a secret
