I think that one unintended effect that sometimes ripples out from transparency is a misperception about intimacy. <BR/><BR/>I feel like some people (over-) perceive my transparency as intimacy because they aren't as transparent...and assume a depth of relationship that I don't intend. Not a bad thing until you (I) can't follow through on all the friendships / promises (?) that you've (accidentally) made. <BR/><BR/>Which is why I do think that the level of transparency that we engage in should be somewhat socially derived -- somewhat interactionally determined...<BR/><BR/>I think....<BR/><BR/>But I love (always) your thinking and questions...Redbaerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294851073181378085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10993731.post-1147825583250300582006-05-16T20:26:00.000-04:002006-05-16T20:26:00.000-04:00Meh! I love it! What a great alternative to "wha...Meh! I love it! What a great alternative to "whatever." It's shorter, it's not as offensive, it's not as apathetic... it says, that's the best I can do, but I know it's not all that great! I LOVE IT!<BR/><BR/>Meh.Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13855068268155504112noreply@blogger.com
