Disclaimer: Honesty is hard

I am honest. I am aware. I see my faults and I see the stupidity in some of the things I do. If I see someone else hurting themselves, going down a path that I know will only lead to misery, I won't be silent. I won't pester them, but I respect and care for others enough to try and share what little knowledge I have if it might save them from unnecessary suffering.

At the same time I know that I cause myself pain on a daily basis. No, the pain is not necessary, and yes, the actions I consistently make are stupid. I do attempt to rationalize the irrational occasionally, but I am working on that. Could I be making greater strides? Yes. But I'm not. I don't apologize for that.

I have to live with that. I don't mind (much) if you want to point out my flaws, just make it as helpful as you can. Insults and attacks are unnecessary and unwanted.

It has taken me a long time to even attempt this kind of openness, so please, help me make it last and don't be an ass.

Thank you.
