Much can be said about you from your behaviors alone.
Yeah. She's a good writer.
I'm tempted to ask her to do me, just so I can enjoy the sound of her words. But I haven't given anybody here much to work with, beyond the most mundane details of my life.
I'd be asking her to write fiction. What would come from her keys might as well be one of my most boring sock puppet characters.
"How can you be sure you see yourself correctly? "
Huh? Nearly 3 decades of self study, experimentation with several spiritual paths that included guided meditation and visualization and about a dozen works by CG Jung and his proponents.
From there I let my skepticism win, ditched the new age granola trip, and pursued a degree in archaeology and anthropology, with several electives and about half a dozen audits in the social sciences and humanities. That included several psychology, sociology and sociocultural anthropology courses. I did not finish my degree.
Yes I am well aware of my own mind and personality. My character. My strengths and weaknesses. I have an excellent grasp on the human condition and the tools that psych researchers use to study all of the above.
It's not a game. I'm just not interested in putting myself on display in a pit full of narcissistic concern trolls with a vendetta.
I didn't come here for therapy.

Yeah. It's not like anyone could see through that to make out any truth about your character, right? It's so misleading. People must get the wrong impression of you here all the time.

In light of all the BS and how she is treated on this forum, it's understandable that she is wary of being open about who she is.
I suppose. It's hard for me to understand it entirely. I tend to be too open about myself. Even after I'm kicked around many times for it. In fact, I was treated like I was a complete moron for handing people on the old forum, a rope to hang me with, and yet I felt no need to withhold. I tell myself irl "stop doing that! Stop answering so honestly... or... Do answer honestly, but don't be so thorough!" It gets used against me all the time, but I can't seem to stop doing it. So I've learned instead, to not see people using these things about me, as a hanging and stand strong. Resist the instinct to feel ashamed. In the long run, it has helped me more than it's ever hindered me. But I realize that not everything that works for me will work for others, and only because I have to remind myself. It's not easy for me to put myself in another's shoes. I can only intellectually process it. But I do my best to try anyway. Still...that burning desire to get into more depths with people I'm trying to understand, drives me to continue the attempt until it seems like too much work, and I'll give up. Find someone else to peel. I've no wish to expose her to more ridicule. I guess I just keep thinking that her solution to this problem is simple. But I allow that I'm ignorant to the full history, and though I asked for it long ago, I didn't get a clear enough picture to understand it, or to commit it to memory.
I'm not sure I'm reading too much into this, but you're coming off a little like you're trying to put me in my place, a little self righteous, a little preachy... like you have mastered everything and are above all us.
My questions were in the search of a candid moment with you. One with a little more depth. Instead, I feel like you are handing me your resume. What perceptions do other members have of you, that you believe are incorrect?
