So just out of curiosity...

...how do you guys deal with seeing people go on about how "lovely" someone is, when your experience tells you that person is actually not nearly so "lovely"?

Because you know, it can get a bit tiring.

Flip answer? Bitch about it privately to people I trust.

As an honest adult? Hmm, now that's a tough one.

Yeah. I haven't bitched about it to anybody because frankly, I've learned there's nobody you can trust on the internet. I've had people who swore they loved me forever turn out to be tattletales, so I'm extremely leery of talking about this in specifics to anyone who even remotely knows this person or anyone nearby. Once bitten, twice shy, as they say.

Which leaves me with ignoring it, which as I say is getting too old to do anymore, or defriending in pique anyone who spews that whole bootlicking crap. Which isn't a good option, either.
