I work wonderfully with adults, cooperating, interacting with them on an adult plane. I have a wonderful situation in life; I am responisible, not quite 'serious,' but I do not see the need in that quality.

I was trying to describe the quality of genuiness, of honesty, of not wearing a 'mask' when I used the word child. I do wear a mask, but with people that I have grown close with, friends, of course I do not.

To use the words 'false' and 'unsympathetic' to describe me are the very opposite of who I am. I work with kids for a living, I am real with them, I am very sympathetic to their needs, listening intently, empathetically, helping them reach their goals.

Seems you took one word, 'childlike,' and ran with it. The traits of empathy, caring and thoughtful, are very adult-like traits I possess. I never ask for preferential treatment. I have been very, very good to many people over the years, and never once asked for anything in return.
