Re: I Guess... Intro
by Kit

I have no idea what it's like to not have strong emotions. I can totally see how that can happen through bad experiences. But I guess I swung the other way? I feel everything deeply. Probably too deeply. *Rolleyes* Oddly enough, except for in some situations when most people would feel seriously upset and I know I should be feeling that way and I don't. It's as though my mind backs away rapidly from feeling anything at all. Strange things, minds... probably some self-preservation thing.

I don't know if you'd like to feel more, but from an outsider's perspective, the fact that you take a practical approach when dealing with people is quite valuable and refreshing. Maybe it's because I am Autistic, but I like to know exactly where I stand and many people sugarcoat things which can be unhelpful. To put it in somewhat crude terms - tell me my shit stinks!

Most people don't dare to do that. So you either get the stuff they feel they ought to say, or you get the jerks who simply love to put people down and take pleasure from it. It's difficult to find that middle road of simple honesty and practical advice/feedback.

In a world filled with lies, even well-meaning ones, I think I prefer your approach. *Smile*
