read people online and in real time at times. I just know that words hurt, and sometimes I mistake definitions for what the word means. And I have no clue as to if someone is being straight up and honest or lying thru their teeth. Really how do you know if someone is being sincere or what? I am truely baffeled.

I wish I knew how to be a more trusting person ... meaning increase my ability to risk putting more "out there" than I am willing to forfeit/lose.

I wish I knew how to sew on a button without puncturing my finger. Yes, I bought a steel thimble but for me, it would take ten of them to reduce the probability of bloodshed. :(
