Well, I was not really thinking about you being ashamed tbh. It's actually good that you don't care and just want to have him see you for what you are. Again, I just love your honesty and tenacity seesaw. Not everyone can be tenacious like that, it's refreshing.
Thanks for this!

Thanks. I'm not into hiding who I am or my past, so I have to figure out how to be authentic and honest without also making it very scary, you know?

I think that is a good way to approach whatever is "truth/real" about you, actually say you are only interested in being "authentic" with him.

I guess, the scary is when the other person can't be honest and authentic. We can't do anything about that because it's the other person's choice or "lack of ability".

Well, I think I'm ending it as it is. There are red flags, and he won't be transparent with me, so I think I've lost interest.
