I know this more than you could imagine. I have a directness about me that most during my entire life have found unsettling. I've found that even those who find me likable can still only take me in small doses, as my natural tendency is to cut through the masks when folks allow them to get too big for their britches and think they can run over my sovereignty.

I'm typically a loner by choice, as i have no desire to associate with most and entertain their delusions. Love the song Don't Damn Me by G&R.

I know you don't want to hear me crying
An I know you don't want to hear me deny
That your satisfaction lies in your illusions
But your delusions are yours an not mine
We take for granted that we know the whole story
We judge a book by it's cover and read what we want
Between selected lines
Don't hail me an don't idolize the ink
Or I've failed in my intentions
Can you find the missing link
Your only validation is in living your own life
Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time
So I send this song to the offended
I said what I meant and I've never pretended
As so many others do intending just to please
If I damned your point of view
Could you turn the other cheek
Don't damn me when I speak a piece a mind
'Cause silence isn't golden
When I'm holding it inside
I've been where I have been
An I've seen what I have seen
Put the pen to the paper 'Cause it's all a part of me
Don't damn me
I said don't damn me
I said don't hail me
Ah, don't damn me
