^the last verse in particular is pretty cool^

Is there a part of you that you don't really want anyone to see? Maybe even a side you don't like to see yourself?

Okay, I've been thinking about this for a couple of hours, so I'll go first :D

YES, there is absolutely a side of me that I don't like people to see. It's a defense mechanism. I intentionally shut down emotionally at times so I can make rational decisions under pressure in order to do what has to be done (ESPECIALLY when I'm working), and there are times when it comes across as being extremely cold and calculating. And it probably is. But as long as that wall is up, I'm emotionally safe. I've never been able to determine whether the ability to do that is a blessing or a curse. Special people have keys. Several of them will probably read this.

Ok, that's twice tonight that you've called me a chicken.

Most people here see the friendly, outgoing, confident side of me. I wholeheartedly understand emotional self protective reflexes. In real life I frequently clam up rather than deal with confrontation out of fear of rejection for my opinions.

I try to hide my insecurities, and although my past (like everyone's) is very much a part of who I am, and God has used it in amazing ways, I often dread people finding out the particulars of it.

The side of me that I don't want people to see, is the side of me that NEEDS things. I pride myself on my ability to be independent and smart. I don't like asking for help when something is beyond my control.

Haha when i saw the title of this thread that song was the first thing I thought of. Not because I watched CSI either. I actually owned the vinyl album with that song on it :p One of the greatest songs by The Who. Also...no serious rock drummer worth his salt isn't a fan of Keith Moon (RIP). ;)

My favorite song of theirs though is Teenage Wasteland.

This.
It's not the fact that I don't like asking for help, it's just I don't know how to do it. I always think I can figure it out alone, without help. That includes God.

No one knows that I have this fragile, sad little boy inside of me who has a big warm heart, but is often too scared and lonely to lift his head up and talk to someone or even just to look around.

I hope I never wake up in a Soho doorway next to a policeman who happens to know my name.

I feel deeply, but keep those emotions guarded by a wall of rationality and at times jocularity.

*Thinks that if he showed up at Jullianna's house with cake he would be rewarded with jewelery. (a matching set of stainless steel bracelets curiously joined together by a short chain)

I understand Liamson and delive. I think those times are God's way of keeping us humble, you know? They also make us more compassionate and generous later on, huh? :)

Gabe <3

Ritter, yours is very closely related to my own. I get that.

You wouldn't be turning into a therapist, would you?

I think there is a part I keep hidden, it's home to my mistakes and all the parts of me that enjoy the feelings that come from sinful activites, and so it's hidden for a very good reason.

But I see it, I know it's there, I have to keep aware of it, and there's only one other person I want to have see that part of me, and that will hopefully one day be my wife, so that the she can say.......I love you in spite of it.

Actually, I think this is MY therapy sometimes :D

That's how we know we are truly loved...when we are loved in spite of ourselves. It sounds wierd, but there are times when one person's shortcomings can be endearing to others.

I didn't mean it in an unkind way, but pretty much no-one looks good sticking their tongue out, not me either.
