Now one thing that you do that I difer... if people treated YOU the way that you treat them, judging them based on the outside... is that exactly what AS people have relationship problems about?

Given the assumption that most people are deceptive and that I cannot determine the truth; I assume that everyone is lying but pretend that they aren't. If I care about the truth, then I will find out objectively, otherwise, I will judge people by their actions not their words. This strategy works o...

There's less to worry about since they care of most everything for you. I make sure I keep in mind the important stuff (paying bills, not leaving the sto...

I am often self-deprecating but my goal is to "fish" for honest responses. I tend to assume that most people will try to say positive stuff regardless of it's validity to avoid hurting the recipient's feelings. My strategy (however ineffective it tends to be) is to make it "ok" to say something bad ...

Hello all. As evident by my informative subject text, I am 26 year old male living in Virginia (Manassas to be exact).
