(13,866 posts)There is something in what you had said that gnaws at me still, but, it could just be indigestion. Worse, it could be psychological projection that I am placing upon you -- scary. After all, this thread is about things people did not think about enough in life, ourselves included.
Over analyzed, under analyzed, I don't know. I'm just yapping at someone I don't know thinking I might do some good in the world. Then, again, that might just be a grandiose delusion.
What catches my eye this time is your statement of how you do not care about what others think. I question: do you care about ... others? We keep things to ourselves not only so we do not feel uncomfortably exposed, but also, that we do not make others feel uncomfortable. I'm glad you are comfortable with who you are, but, jeepers, I have my own perversions and do not enjoy hearing about other perversions. As an example, Santorum comes to mind. Eww.
Oh, that ending statement I made before, I made because of your number 4 answer. The undivided attention and the drifting of friends. It's just that life is fragile and I would not want my mate to be so solely dependent on me that they would be without friends after an untimely demise. That was all.
Okay for now my quick friend, from whom I might drift away any second now. Take good care.
