TRUE AMERICAN
Are you making a generalization that Americans are gullible?
I’ve been told that I am difficult to read. People say that they want to peel away my layers - be the first person to see “the real me.” The truth of the matter is that people rarely want to know you in the way you might think. They don’t want to know that you’re lonely and overwhelmed all at the same time or that your sarcasm isn’t humor, it’s protection. They want to know that the image they have of you lines up with reality. They want to simply take away the unknown because while they might say they want to see a side of you that no one else gets, the better chance is that they might not like it when you finally let them.
I’m no saint – I’ve done this myself. I’ve built people up (partner or friend), only to feel upset (in a purely childish way) when they aren’t exactly what I thought. It’s one thing to know someone through casual conversation, online postings, or from their texting mannerisms and something complete different to know that person on a deeply personal level.
On the somewhat rare occasion that someone genuinely wants to know you, there is no need to mention that you’re hard to read. Instead, they’ll actually try to find out who you are. There will be no need to ask you to open up. Instead, it will be your natural response to be yourself with them. You’ll show them every oddity and quirk in your carefully guarded being because when the time is right, it’s lovely to be that vulnerable.

I can never be that direct without laughing![]()
The person that wrote that knows a thing or two about the subject matter. Wow. I'm not crying, you're crying!
Dropping by to say hi!I always enjoy reading through your posts - even when they make me roll my eyes.
Work kept me away for a week. Hope yours was pleasant!
What do you roll your eyes at? Asking out of curiosity...
But also HIit’s nice to see you!
Possessiveness. Ugly feeling? Maybe. Sign of love? For some.
Some people simply have possessive personalities. They take ownership of those they care about. Whether it’s related with fear, mistrust, or insecurity - it can become overwhelming.
I believe there are degrees of possession. There’s the two headed jealousy monster that can destroy relationships and friendships. There’s the one eyed egomaniac, who seems to think they are irreplaceable so “Why be worried? You can’t do better than me.”. And there is some kind of middle ground...right? I mean, I haven’t personally seen it, but surely it exists. Where do you fall?

It is more meaningful to me that they choose to share with me something special that’s just for me, so sure I can be jealous, but I try and not let it get the best of me and enjoy what they choose to share with me.
I am hers. She is mine. We belong together...is different from you belong to me. Where is that line? Songs are written of this.
I haven't really answered the question have I? I am possessive. But I try to keep my motives pure and honest. It isn't my job to control someone else. Labeling control for possessiveness is an error for me. But wanting to know she thinks of me, and I think of her, all the time...and I like it that way...if then that is being possessive...I am.
Yes, if you licked it...it is yours. Given freely.
