It's funny you think you run the risk of scaring me off. But I don't mean that condescendingly.

I only want to say things I believe or not say anything at all. But I observe that a certain amount of flattery, lying, and disingenuity of feeling is required for day-to-day interaction. Which I find challenging. People are typically frank in their assessments of my shortcomings and negative traits, however.

[...] I have a question. This person you divorced twice. Are they still in your life?
