Simple question: Does your friends and family know your hobby is being a frequent poster on any given forum whether it's here or some place else?

If your answer is no why? Are you too embarrassed to tell or is it just none of their business?

I think my parents assume I still do as I've been doing so for a few years now, but they don't actually ask or care. My brother know as I mention something funny that happens or something funny somebody says every now and then.

As for my friends, they have no idea I'm into wrestling at all. If they did, I'd probably cop some shit because "it's not real" or whatever.

Most of my friends know, as sometimes i'm checking the forum on my phone and what not and they'll ask what i'm doing.

My family knows, and my parents are actually apart of a forum, so it's no big deal.

My brothers know as well as they all used to be on wrestling forums, my brother actually owned one, but now I'm the only one still doing it.

I brag all day to my friends and family about my prestige on wrestling forums and I always shove the fact that I'm a wrestling historian down their throats.

Some of my friends know. My parents don't though, I'm 16, but they'd still give me lectures about talking to people I don't know online. I just tell them I'm on wrestling sites but never said anything about posting.

My friends and family are aware of the wrestling forums. They are unaware of the countless rub and tug review forums I also visit.

Its something I can manage not to talk about with people since it seems not many people I know use forums as well. But its something my family is definately aware of andsomething my friends all suspect anyway. But more for gaming, only like a couple of people know I go on wrestling forums and thats because they're wrestling fans too, or at least ex-fans.

I don't think my family know the concept of a interent forum, As for my friends a handful of them know i have visited/visit forums and most of them know of my interest in Wrestling.

I think my dad knows it (I don't live with my mother.). However everyone in my family knows about my wrestling markness, plus my dad's a wrestling fan since the 80's so he's a walking wrestling encyclopedia, but doesn't watch it on a regular basis nowadays. He's now more like "who's the champ?" "is he face or heel?" "his moveset is ok?" But he knows who's who. He's a Taker mark. Both of us are nWo marks. As for my friends, they know it too, 'cause I sometimes check the forums on my phone, but they are like "it's fake bro" and they move on. Three or four friends of mine actually are interested in wrestling but they don't really care about it. Unlike me.

I told my family and they think it is pretty cool, I just looked at them funny and walked away. It was pretty awkward because they kept looking at me funny for the rest of the day, I eventually said "stop staring at me" and went to go chill in my room. On a forum of course :) I love to listen to some beats and chill on a forum.

Nah. Mainly because "hey I post on wrestling forums" isn't an interesting topic to bring up.
