I'm a Mage, but shh, it's a secret!
 
What is something that not many people know about you personally?

pkmin3033 February 27th, 2016 10:25 AM

My biological gender is probably the most obvious one for me, although not a lot of people know much about my personal life, either...because, y'know, it's personal.

Bellsprout February 27th, 2016 1:04 PM

lol i'm becoming a witch

moon February 27th, 2016 4:32 PM

That I like pokémon haha. Seriously, I don't really flaunt that.

Sothis February 27th, 2016 4:43 PM

People irl don't know many things about me because I hid it in hear of ridicule. The major one being that I'm nonbinary.

Sammi February 27th, 2016 5:01 PM

Probably that I really love Homestuck. It's the one fandom interest I don't usually talk about, both online and offline, until it's reaaaaaaally relevant. Homestuck is a bit divisive online. So it makes me shy.

Also, I'm still not sure what my sexuality is. I'm either (biromantic) asexual or bisexual with a low sex drive? I just... I'm very confused. If/When date, I'd date men or women, and I'd guess I'd find out which is most true then. And tbh, I've been super shy about admitting being attracted to women. Ever. Even though I have been since I was young.

I've said I'm asexual in the past, and considering my current romantic situation (too lazy to date), it's not totally inaccurate? Still gonna feel bad if I finally have sex and find out I actually have a high sex drive when I'm actually in a relationship.

if i told you it wouldn't be a "not many people know" thing anymore.

hiiiiiiiiii talk to me about it! I miss reading Homestuck ;;

I don't quite talk about any fandoms offline haha. So I guess pokémon isn't an isolated thing in that sense.

Christos February 27th, 2016 5:35 PM

I AM A POKEMON MOD AND I MAKE POKEMON ROM HACKS

Mawa February 27th, 2016 5:37 PM

My close friends know something about me, but it's something that I can't tell everyone.

Spoilers. For the curious.
Spoiler:
My dad and my mother Has cancer in the same time. My mother is well now, and my father does look well but his cancer will come back. Doctors told him he has only a few years to live. He might have 3 or 5 years left.
Some people told me I am lucky that my parents helps me a lot, but I always have the feeling that my father does that for me because he won't have much time left to still help me later in life.

The end.

I'm on and off rereading Homestuck to refresh my memory. The re-read progress has been kinda slow because I'm in the first part of Act 6 which I don't like quite as much. I know it gets better eventually, I just need to be in the mood to read it. Which now that I'm talking about it and need to grind a little before Brock, I'll get to it. 8)

I'm not too shy about talking about Pokemon! I've been playing for 16 years, at this point it's kinda just part of my life. Though I don't bring that up either until it's relevant. I'm like that with almost all fandom things. Don't want to bore people if they're not interested. *shrugs*

Margot February 27th, 2016 6:59 PM

That I'm bisexual.

I came to the realization shortly before I ended up in my current 4+ year relationship with a guy. The main reason why I haven't brought it up to people is because it seems not....so relevant? It's an awful way to put it, but I have a feeling a lot of my friends would be confused since I have seemingly only been interested in dudes and plan on marrying the one I'm with. It was a part of me I kept hidden & I would rather I didn't have to anymore, but meh.

Bay February 27th, 2016 7:39 PM

No one outside the internet saved one friend knows I write fanfiction. If someone asks my what I do on my free time, I don't say I write as a hobby in fear of someone asking, "Oh what your novel is about?", lol. One other thing is I have one medical condition that only my family and a few close friends know. Nothing too serious, but a bit embarrassing for me to say.

Arylett Charnoa February 27th, 2016 8:10 PM

Nearly everything, especially in real life.

Most people are also unaware that I am bisexual. It's not really something I actively hide; it just doesn't really come up all that much. I don't find my sexuality to be relevant to most situations. Most people also do not know that I am a furry. And as well, they don't know what I even do with most of my life. (Which is mostly spent on drawing, posting on the internet, and Youtube) I don't even bring up most of my interests in regular conversation. A lot of people just won't care and I hate shoving my likes on them for fear of judgement. Few people know what kind of music I like too. This is especially something I don't see any need to bring up because I mostly just listen to video game tracks/orchestral pieces from anime and people wouldn't really get how that is music.

On the internet though, I am pretty open. But I kind of go for a "I'll tell you anything if you ask" approach. In that, I won't offer information unless pressed because I don't want to bore people with my life story or whatever. There are few things I keep secret, and those I do are things that would legitimately be controversial and I KNOW a lot of people would be against and not react well to at all.

I think 2 people irl know I still play Pokemon :x I don't even think my parents know that I do haha. I don't really care what people think it's just.....no one cares about it(or is hiding it like me!)

Kikaito plush February 28th, 2016 5:24 AM

That I like Vocaloids

Echoing Castform and Fire here :). I've told some people about PC before but I don't really see the need.

Dedenne1 February 28th, 2016 8:30 PM

I mean my most closely guarded secret is that I like Dedenne

Probably that outside of PC im not all that friendly or nerdy or whatever just averagish and Im pretty judgy which im working on.

AlphaTangoFoxtrot February 29th, 2016 12:43 AM

Most people irl don't know anything about me honestly. If you asked the people closest to me what my hobbies are, they might have responses, but odds are they'd be wrong. No one knows I'm a writer (accept for my writing club I guess). I hinted at it to my sister once but I don't think she got the hint. Absolutely nobody IRL knows I make YouTube videos for fun (and I'd probably die of embarrassment if they did.) Nobody outside of my family knows I'm hugely into Pokemon. In fact, I think my brother, my mother, and possibly my dad are the only ones that know that. Nobody knows that I hate being a college student and I'm freaking about where my life is going. Eh and not too many people know about my anxiety, which doesn't help with the college thing.

Palamon February 29th, 2016 5:25 AM

What do most people not know about me? That I'm transgender and have been experiencing dysphoria. It's not something I like to talk about irl.

starseed galaxy auticorn March 5th, 2016 5:49 PM

In real life, I'd either say my autism (unless absolutely needed) or the fact that I enjoy One Direction. I don't usually like to say I have autism online much anymore either. Not unless I can convince the person it's mild, or that varies depending on my mood/the situation. With the horrible stigma following it though, it's hard for anyone online to believe me about it. I also don't really like talking about my autism offline rather than online. I feel like it's something I don't want people to know. Not unless they are of high authority or something, and they need to know about my special needs. I also don't like to tell people about having Dyspraxia or Dyscalculia. Mostly, because I'm not officially diagnosed with these things. I know I have Dyscalculia because if you know me, it'd be very obvious to you. As for Dyspraxia, I'm still unsure about this.

Another thing that many people don't realize is that I don't know my sexuality, and that I also have no religion. All I know in terms of sexuality is that I'm heteroflexible, which means I lean more towards guys than girls... even though I do LIKE girls. Again, I'm very confused about my sexuality. A lot of the reason is because I also don't have sexual attraction to others. I want to say that I'm asexual, but a lot of people jump on me about this because I'm in a relationship. :/

I also keep my internet life private too. I don't like telling others I have friends or an online boyfriend either. I feel like if I do, then they'll start preaching to me about the dangers of all these things or something. I don't have an issue saying that I spend a lot of time on my computer or being online or anything in general. I just don't like announcing that I have close friends or a boyfriend. These things always seem to send up red flags for those that don't quite understand the situation I'm in. :/ The people that are aware of this would be my parents, but they trust me. They know I'm going to start flaunting information to others. I am pretty careful about how much I trust others.

So yeah.

i've played the campaign of every call of duty game to completion

Hikamaru March 9th, 2016 2:13 PM

I don't like revealing my online life to the real world. It's because I have a heavy fear of being spied on.

Foxrally March 9th, 2016 7:19 PM

Most people have no idea that I enjoy writing, and I've legit had people assume I was a full put study nerd or studyless geek. Aside from that, I'm a pretty open book about myself which is probably a bad idea tbh

Oh also nobody knows that I am part of a cult that worships an all-encompassing infinitely-tentacled god named Lord Blarzigord (praise him)
