I consider myself to be a private person, who sometimes, in certain situations, in certain company, gives into the, sometimes inexplicable, pull to share. But because I primarily see myself as a private person, when someone starts to ask me questions— seemingly harmless enough questions, but questions asked or asked in a manner/ with an energy that for some reason triggers raising up the drawbridge — my first instinct is, “Why are you all up in this?” But I’ve been observing. And in observing, realizing that, in some cases, the other person is expressing a genuine interest and what I might share might actually be helpful to them in some way either now or in the long run. Might đŸ˜‰ So, I feel it out. And I keep an eye on the drawbridge. And I keep observing.
