I don't blame people for oversharing to some degree, because I think our respective culture is heavily influenced by anxiety-based thinking (per hyper-vigilance) and when it involves two people with a shared neurosis (both on opposite sides) then it's like watching each person pick at scabs...

You and him have a lot more in common than you both realize because you both obsess over the details and are people-centric... and y'all both like to go against the grain with great force...

Late entry, like the ever popular john tickle.

It would be fun to see all of us in the Big Brother House. I'd be interested to see if people's real life personas face to face were in any way the same as they are on here.

Thanks, Kate. And you know you’re one of those people who’ve got my trust. I got you, as much as I can.

I think that I would be mostly the same as I am on here.

My irritable sides to my personality would probably be more pronounced on BB though.

I like to think I would be pretty much the same too. We could find a quiet corner and be irritable together because if I was forced into the BB house, I would definitely be irritable...

Well at least I would have a partner in crime then.

Who would you want to tag alongside you when you’re on the pull, trying to move to some of the women in the house?

Mario and Lisa, dunking biscuits.

It’s more release (a little tongue-in-cheek here-and-there, building on my rep. for being a complainer) than reveal. The big-fry, the truly personal? That’s tucked away more than I ever give flashes of them on here (and only then when it’s apt and fits the context). It’s all me, but a version of me curated for different spaces. No bluff, but no getting truly personal with most people, either. Only the people who have more access to that side of me, and there aren’t many of them on this forum, who I’d share those things with. Like I say, it’s curated. Selective.

This is why I said "any" (it's discussing the topic of oversharing, not you in particular in this case). Whether it is or isn't (wgaf), I don't think it's such a big deal anyway even if it were. It's no more bothersome than the emotional journals that get written around HMs, our dear politicians and other non-celebrities. I would say a sizable portion of the active member base take to airing their grievances (personal or not) or gripes on the regular as an entertaining side hobby (Harry & Meghan threads, every single time)... and it's not so much a negative for me, because I come to Tibb to get my daily grievance studies... it's literally the chef's kiss of this place...

That’s something I can resonate with. It is a bit of an entertaining side-hobby. That’s part of the point. They’re not imagined slights but they’re not that deep at the end of the day.

Yeah if we were in the house, people would switch off

We can't be as bad as the Channel 5 years in fairness.

I have cleaned and reopened this.

However if there is any more arguing or dragging grievances from other threads, I will delete it again.

As you were....

Thank you. But please don't delete again as I'm not a part of the arguing Annie.

Also arista would be fun to watch

Especially his state once the withdrawal from knowing what's happening in the real world kicked in...

Maru · 25-07-2025, 09:48 PM

Anyway, the reason I hadn't answered the poll is because I think virtually all members qualify if they have any stomach at all to post on TiBB. TiBB, with its imperfections, simulates BB in a way without all the hand-holding... and now I just heard thunder...

Good post.
