I do want to add....that I talk about anything and everything on here. I give enough of myself to validate my parking...if you know what I mean?
Showing a pic is no price of admission in my relationship book....a pic does nothing to prove to me your legit AFA being for real about yourself and your life. There's people with pics who we know nothing about. It can go both ways.
Getting to know/understand people....
That takes the real old fashioned way of things...listening and paying attention. As TNH puts it...deep listening.
Sometimes it is to protect others, not self. For many years I was stalked by somone deeply disturbed who had decided I was always sending them messages on forums and replies to their voluminous daily personal posts which I eventually did not read. Nothing seemed to dissuade their posts.
Whenever I tried to engage this made the situation far worse for them, in effect feeding their fantasies. I have no desire to be a personal councillor, gnu guru or psycho-spiritual paramedic.
Other situations also ensued but not as extreme.
It all started with a simple photo attached to people's inability to understand the price, including me, of unskilful attachment to appearance.
Not an ideal world and now back to selfie avatars, visual cue assumptions and perhaps words without emoticons

But seriously, does that restraining order against me have an expiry date?

OK you asked for it, but I warn you,
I'm just a shadow of my former self...

And the NSA! No seriously, you can't hide from them.
Identity? Self? You're just a bag of skandhas, dahhling!
