Yes. I can get myself in a lot of trouble that way. :oops:

No. I do not feel the need to divulge. When/if I do, like out of necessity, I tend to understate. I am not gushy. I reveal more on this site than probably anywhere. But I am a good listener.

I have noticed that sometimes when I have told someone something they (NTs) can use it as arsenal against me later. I hate that. Plus, this negates the entire purpose revealing something. Or they're judgmental. I am very closely guarded.

I hope you like the above link, very appropriate to this topic, if you have a sense of humor - I love it. Just too funny! I have it bookmarked and sometimes indulge. FUN

In many ways, I stay inside of my shell and I like it that way - I'm doing that but not without making myself noticed first lol. But with confessions, yeah sure I can confess.

I won't even confess things to myself most of the time.

Boy, do I ever envy you. I wish I had the self discipline to just shut up! I'm WAY too confessional. You're exactly right about the NTs -- anything you say can and will be used against you at some point in the future. I just never think before I speak :roll:

I have a great deal of difficulty confessing things.

I've told people I didn't know real well embarrassing stories just because they were listening to me. Luckily gossip gets so easily distorted. What I did became attached to someone else. I feel bad, but at least I wasn't kicked out for it.

And no, I'm not going to tell anyone here what it was. That would be a hundred times worse. :oops:

The "I confess..." thread is probably my favorite thread here; I've been considering seizing control of it and declaring myself its über-moderator.

Good fortune,

((*Wonders if Icarus is really an ordained minister or if he is pulling our legs...*))

I am too open mouthed to be honest and it has gotten me into trouble in the past.
I am hopeless at keeping things secret unless explicitly asked to do so and even then, if I feel it is something someone should know...
I also have a habit of being terribly open with those I do speak to, even if they are virtual strangers.

Well... I suppose it depends on how much stock you put into the Church of the SubGenius. :wink: In fact I've worked elements of the CotS into my own personal religion (along with broader tenets of Discordianism). I am a true believer!

My official rank and title is Archpope of the Unknowable.

Sometimes I think it would be healthier if I were more so, but alas, I have grown to cynical in my old age to reveal too much.

normally no, I do not naturally trust other people. But places like here where you can do it somewhat anonymously I am more inclined to do so.
