Yes, I make assumptions about what people mean all the time - and usually I am not accurate. I am very paranoid about what people think and say about me, it bothers me a great deal.

On the surface my childhood was good, underneath was a "h*ll hole" as I told my mom once. Yes, to all three of the adjectives that describe my childhood, it was more subtle.

I trust no one really. There is a wall that everyone comes to, and that's it.........no further. The only one to get past it was my T, and look what happened there. It took him over a year to do it though. Nowadays, I am a loner, a surface "socializer".
