Yeah, yeah, I'm behind the times.
I like how Bfahome described you, because that is actually how I am in real life (NOT on the Internet ) so I can relate. And I don't act that way because I know everything or am superior to anyone, just that I look at things from a different perspective than most. I only share those perspectives when I think need be.
Often people can get the wrong idea of your motives, but that is because, like I said, they're looking at it from a different perspective.
The perspective can often come from a shift in your life when you realize what things matter and what to care for, such as a near-death experience, loss of someone close to you, etc. Naturally that would harden a person, at least on the outside.
[And I haven't read all your posts as of late, so I don't know exactly what applies to you.]
