hey shadows. i think that people can sometimes be a little suspicious of all the questions because people might have been interested in a 'freak show' kinda way before. does that make sense? i guess people worry a little that you have a purely 'academic interest' or something and that you might be going 'what freaks!' and laughing into your computer or something.

people are just trying to be cautious about opening themselves up to someone who isn't reciprocating the risk (by sharing their intentions / situation etc).

just tryin to help.
