Is that like flexible?

MerryMagdalene

malleable adj. 1. Capable of being hammered or rolled out without breaking. 2. Capable of being shaped or molded; flexible; pliable.

Yup, guess so

I wanna know, I want to see if your perception might be mirrored by someone else. I'd also like to see those that hold a different opinion, or those who totally disagree with you. Either way, Merry, Merry, quite contrary, from you, I would most assuredly prefer to know.

Things that make me go Hmmmmmmmmmmmm!

That's a difficult question to answer. I suppose at times I would really like to know if I was intimate with some one how I was being percieved by that person, but I wouldn't want to be always worrying about it al the time, or to be under constant scrutinany and having to change my whole way of doing things just to please that person, that would truley be hell if they had a rather negative piont of view to begin with or were very opinionated.

I think far too often we live our life with the constant worry of how some one else views us. We should of course not want to offend others naturally, if I'm able to make adjustments in my way of doing things that were not motivated by: I want this person to really really like me(or worse not hate me), but instead a more balanced,, lets just try to understand each other and be open with each other and see what developes.

Truthfulness in relationships is something that takes time and understanding by both parties, if one party or both,, have an ideal that they expect in, or from the other,, it is doomed IMO(truthfulness is doomed that is), and there can not be any real truthfulness if the other is not naturally meeting those ideals. I suppose that if the ideals are basic common sense and not too high then perhaps, truthfulness can be kept in tact, but only after years of building trust and tolerence(based on understanding human nature). After all who really are we willing to be 100% truthfull to? We risk so much in doing so, we all even have a hard time in being truthfull with ourselves, so this truthfulness thing needs to find the right enviroment for it to be realized either in ourselves or with some one we have built up trust.

I suppose some will proclaim: "they allways are truthfull", but that proclaimation most assuredly is a bold face lie. The human mind and disposition is not so well equiped as some may boast. We all have a very good side and a very darkside(star wars), and to be truthfull with ourselves means to recognize both.

Ok...I'm wading in here.

It's probably the heat and the long drive home that is affecting my answer but here goes:

I know that this is just a discussion board. That being said it's not just a discussion board. The community on any board make that board what it is and will ultimately become. With every post we make you leave an impression on someone that reads it. Good, bad or indifferent. So, we do touch each other. Like when you throw a pebble in a still body of water. The ripples go out and if you wait long enough the water will be still again. The lake will look the same but it is forever changed.

I can only hope that what I post I do with compassion, humor and love because that would be what I would want to receive in return.

As for knowing the impact/impression we make on others? If you want to tell me...tell me. Absorbed in wondering what people think of me? Not my style.

Hi Arrowstar. I've never had the pleasure, but, God do I love the way you see this. That is such a beautiful way of looking at things.

If you want to tell me...tell me.

I thought that was beautifully put.

We touch each other...
