I don't feel that your list contains anything of real concern.... you seem a very pleasant fella to me. You seem to have been honest and that is to be commended and admired.... a rarity on sites such as these, it would appear.
Reminds me of a time when I was walking through a carpark to get my car after work and go home....
I was wearing a short-ish skirt (long time ago) and heard a voice behind me say "You've got bloody fantastic legs, love". I turned around to find a down-and-out slumped in the corner, drunk!
Ohh welll....
Actually, I did have great legs but that was a very, very long time ago....!!
Claims of transparency (re. corporations, government, employers) are worth about as much as claims of accountability. Its all about ticking a box, looks good on paper. The actual transparency we get comparative to those claims is minimal.
With regard to relationships, its individual, of course.
I have always, by nature, worn my heart on my sleeve, Ambrose.... and its invariably been to my detriment, left feeling foolish. Thanks for the advice though, my friend, which seems sound advice, as usual.... I will try?!
RE: Say something....to anyone....BE NICE.....
But its not dark ALL the time. If you took yer shades off once in a while, you'd be able to see where you're going, yeah?!
