      Dear @CDLevit,

      While the answer changes from person to person, I recommend you to be polite on internet when you meet a stranger. Most of the time, first impressions are very important to know each other very well.

      Sincerely,
      The Nuffian Plebeian

      Dear Pastalady,

      Should people be polite on internet? From time to time.. I ask myself that question; but, until now, I've coudn't find an answer.

      Dearest deesee,

      Trust is something built overtime. Your example seems to be dead set on the idea that you are tricking them. I can only surmise that they have another reason to feel suspicious of you, completely outside of the mentioned conversations.

      For friends, they will naturally let go of this over time. For enemies... when someone is so deadset that you are tricking them, you might as well go ahead and do so. If they believe you are lying no matter what, say a lie but not very well. Leave an opening where the truth can be found and let them feel clever.

      You only need the trust of friends deesee. Don't worry too much about it and just be yourself. :D

      dear pasta,


      how do I gain more trust?

      people would not believe anything I said, even when I told them the truth

      and when it was revealed that what I said was the truth, they claimed I was tricking them by telling the truth

      I do not think it makes sense

      please help me


      sincerely,

      deesee

      Dear @Rreelentless,

      You shouldn't underestimate your cravings. Go for what you really want if your desire is that strong. On the other hand, overexposure to something can dull the enjoyment. If you find that you've had a lot of takeout lately, try changing it up with the sandwich.

      Yours truly,
      Pasta

      Dear @Cube,

      There is shockingly an option to do both. Why don't you check out the community fiction section and read the novels there?

      Sincerely,
      Pasta

      To mnenomgro,

      I am writing here to you to inquire to you about your opinion on what would happen if i made a sandwich but really wanted takeout. Do i go for the sandwich or instead do i go for what my heart desires?

      Hoping for a reply
      Your's Faithfully

      Dear @Pasta Lady

      I seem to have lost track of all my time ever since I started on the forums, how do you suggest I find a way to get back into reading more novels without cutting down on my time on the forum?

      Sincerely
      -Cube
