Obviously, what i meant and what you are talking about are two different things...but as I said before, I cannot explain what I mean....very well. Oh, I am cautious...but I can be fun loving in a room full of people without selling my soul to the devil or without being manipulative.....I don;t have to like everyone in the same room either, but I don't try to block everything they are doing. I leave them alone...live and let live. I can be drawn to want to talk to the overly quiet person in any room, just as much as the one giving everyone a hug.....It just depends on each person as individuals.....My mom told me never to trust anyone 100% including herself.....and i really don't....A big part of me is not accessible to anyone....I keep her safe. We don;t have to like each other, which is apparent to me now...although, i would not have thought that a few weeks ago....but you live your life as you see fit, and I will live mine.
well i don't mean to offend anybody, but i really see cautious and manipulatve not as synanyms, but very nearly opposites.
