I am an advocate of observation. While some may think observing one's patterns is difficult in Second Life, it is exactly the opposite. There are soo many tools you can use to your advantage when navigating the "waters" of Second Life. This platform we flock to on the daily gives us very little protection from the individual with malicious intentions. One of the signs of malicious intent is downplaying their actions. We have to realize that what they do in Second Life is a clear indication of their Real Life morals. Would you associate yourself with a liar, thief or negative person in Real Life? Then why would you allow them into your Second Life?
"You can easily spot those without morals, all it takes is a little understanding of human psychology."
With a lack of moral police in Second Life, we have to be our own moral police. It is safe to say that those you have had a negative experience with in Second Life congregate with those of the same moral standards. You can easily spot those without morals, all it takes is a little understanding of human psychology. The profile is "the" first impression of the individual and exposes what that person values in Second Life. I have seen a few who "rep" their families and lovers in their profile but they never seem to take into account the kind of "reputation" that individual has. Their behavior towards others in Second Life can easily create a snowball of animosity that they do not see coming.
"Be extra weary of the female who has their sister's husband (brother-in-law) in her profile."
If you find yourself fighting their battles, then you can see how what they do has a direct effect on you. Be weary of those looking to include you in ALL their endeavors and relationships. Be extra weary of the female who has their sister's husband (brother-in-law) in her profile. Anyone who seeks to "Rep" someone else's relationship are way to "emotionally" involved in a relationship that has shit to do with them. I can say with some degree of certainty that female is either jealous, envious and just may be fucking her sister's husband. That profile "shout-out" is nothing more than a tactical ruse to pull the wool over her "sister's" eyes.
"It is inevitable that you will get "close" to people here and setting boundaries is the only way to insure your continued happiness in Second Life."
This grid has tons females and males with ulterior motives. It is up to you to be vigilant in bobbing and weaving your way out of situations that can turn your oasis from Real Life into a complete nightmare of stress and public fights. It is inevitable that you will get "close" to people here and setting boundaries is the only way to insure your continued happiness in Second Life.
I have a belief that has been proven to me in Real Life more than once. The belief is that any woman who introduces me to a man she thinks I would "like" has ulterior motives. That woman was either rejected by that man and in an effort to stay "close" to him, she decided I would be a great proxy for that. Or they have already had sexual relations of some kind and she thinks I will accept her sloppy seconds.
"You cannot control all the moving parts when dealing with others. All you can do is control yourself and who you allow into your Second Life."
So many people in Second Life are in denial of another's intentions and then want to publicly embarrass someone because they failed to get a demo. The Demo is that profile, the demo is the group they hang out with, the demo is that first conversation where they try to "tell" you they ain't bout that drama instead of showing you. Anyone who has to "Tell" you something instead of showing it are most likely lying through their keys. You cannot control all the moving parts when dealing with others. All you can do is control yourself and who you allow into your Second Life. (this applies to Real Life as well!) If you hold yourself in high regard, there will always be people who will want to tarnish that. There are people who will literally seek you out in an effort to make you a public spectacle so they can tout reasons on why everyone should not deal with you.
Demo Dem' for your happiness and satisfaction.
There is a play happening just under the surface in Second Life and there are people who want you to come out of character. This is the fastest and most effective way to get yourself grouped with the lowlifes and ratchets and this is the bait you must avoid. Demo Dem' for your happiness and satisfaction. Because there is absolutely no one for you to complain to if they don't fit your program for a happy Second Life.
Happy Demos Folks!
