Ever sold your soul? Like, become apparently a completely different person in a way that people think you're just not being yourself?

I've thought about selling my soul on EBay a few times. It worked for one guy before. I think he sold his for something like $75.

I am in many ways a completely different person today than, lets say, 5-6 years ago. But since I was a pretty much soulless being back then, compared to the person I am today, it feels more like I have bought (or earned, would some ppl perhaps say) a soul, and that for quite a lot of work. So I'm not gonna sell it cheaply. :wink:

Wow, me too. I have to go back and walk towards the door at a different angle.

I would sell my soul, though, because I don't think I have one anyway. I would be selling nothing.

I also want to know what you got for it, if you did sell it?

I may want to put mine on the market.

iknoright. everyone else just glides through but they stay firmly close for me until i get right close and make an adbrupt stop, with my nose practically touching the glass.
Sometimes i sort of flaff around a bit as i'm approaching to make sure they know i'm coming.

As a semi-furry, yes I have sold my soul. Oh, and DnD.

I can't answer that, but I can answer this:

"Ever become a different person in a way that people think you're just not being yourself?"

Several times, and I think I became more myself each time, but people often fear change and seem to like to worry.

Sure! It's called "acting", and I used to do a lot of it after taking acting lessons to learn how to behave in social situations.

No, not really, but I did handshake with a friend that he owned my soul if I could have his cookie, and we 'signed' it in contract.

He still has my soul. I regret nothing.

Yes, then I wake up feeling horrible and swear I will never drink again.
