"No offense Turn- but I don't see you or anyone else here for that matter- as a healthy person."
Fair enough, but I also don't see how it's too different from calling someone on the phone (save for the time it takes and the effort). For that relationship it became that once it changed into an LDR, and sometimes talking is inconvenient if not uncomfortable.

For example, downtime during work, an IM or Text might be easier.

"You're pretty self absorbed."
Can't really deny that one. As much as some people have ways of getting to me, and the next thing I know I'm caring more about what goes on with them than myself, in the end all we really have are ourselves, so why shouldn't we at least be a little self absorbed?

It's usually when I extend effort toward others that it comes back to bite me really, more of a self-preservation than self-absorption angle, but that doesn't mean the self-focus bits aren't still there.

"You have quite a unique way of showing your narcissism, but underneath it all- the mechanics are still the same."
Yeah... I'm aware that self depreciation is still a "self" thing, but I'd argue it's closer to high standards (that I also have trouble matching up with).

As critical as I am toward others, it's not because of seeing myself as better. If I am narcissistic, it's in the fashion of thinking that I ought to be able to live up to my own standards while skeptical of others being able to or bothering, and constantly facing disappointment from not always living up to them. It's still a self-focus I guess?

"I'll record the call and post it here."
What is there to gain from posting it here? The conversation is for you, not us. An outside perspective I guess could be helpful, but in your shoes I'd see that as something that could come back to bite me.

Edit: Two "bite me's" in a row. Hm.

We're so different yet I see we get the same psychological analysis from the psychiatrist wannabe ladies around here :D

Do not post something so intimate here without her consent to do so.

 What the fuck is wrong with you people.

It could lead to events that have him less willing to disclose stuff in the future.

He's interesting, so that'd suck.

...disclose stuff like...a phone call?

He could just as easily talk about it or post an edited transcript, then the chance of overlooking something that might scare him off when appropriated in another's hands will be less likely.

I mean if he has the balls to post the conversation in it's unedited audio form, more power to him. I just wouldn't have that sort of courage myself.

the whole point would be getting both sides, not just his interpretation. i have a feeling that's as likely as spatial's screenshot though

Of course both sides would be great for us to have, but if it lead to him leaving we'd have one less tolerable regular.

It remains up to him obviously, but it'd be a rather brave and ballsy move.

he'd be fine. he'd just stalk us under another username ;)

I'll post it. As long as we don't mention each others names and avoid identifying ourselves.

I think it would make a entertaining conclusion, you guys have been here for the ride, figured you might as well see how this thing turns out. it won't be for sometime though.
