Admissions

I was reading this list earlier, of things this person will and won't admit, regardless or because of pressure. It got me to thinking about what I'm willing to admit, or what I'm not.

I don't hold secrets the same way others do. That is, I don't find the same sorts of things sacred, or too personal for public consumption, that other people might.

I will tell people my age, my weight, the age I was when I lost my virginity, the last time I had sex, the emotional abuse I suffered as a child, the fact that I'm poor, and any amount of other details it seems other people are hesitant about sharing. I have no real idea what I won't tell peope, regardless of pressure or lack thereof. There seems little they could pry out of me that I would not readily admit anyhow.

This leaves me little to shock or surprise people with, I suppose; unless I shock and surprise them with how overt I can sometimes be.

For all my seeming overtness at times, I am still a fairly shy individual, and fairly timid. I think the things I won't share have more to do with my letting go and allowing someone close, than they do with the details of my existence.
