That sounds way too complicated, and then you say other people are too complicated. And you want to be treated like an entity? Why not like a person with feelings? Or is that too cliched?
Okay wait.... I really do NOT want to be treated like a "person with feelings" if it means people will simply project their own feelings onto me and assume they KNOW what I'm feeling. This is what people do. I do this too. And I don't WANT that. It creates tension, misunderstanding, etc. I understand I am taking an incredibly idealistic stance in the original post. I understand the paradox. And I understand how impossible true equality and bliss is within relationships.
I am speaking my conflict, is all.
