As you might have gathered Spunky I couldn't be any more real than I am here. To the consternation of a few folks I'm sure. Not my problem. Thank you for your reply! :)
I am 100% authentic by my definition, but not by yours. I believe that being considerate of others is an integral part of who I am and you, by your own admission, do not. I care about my effect on others and I believe that no man is an island. Whether it is answerMug, my family, my social group, my neighborhood or my country, I think of myself as part of the whole, not as the center of the universe. My actions matter. As you are so fond of saying...'different strokes'. (The way you describe your authenticity is in this link).
No, I am in a good mood. Nothing I said in my answer to Rosie was intended to be catty. I don't think you took the time to read what was in the link (since you posted 2 min after I did) and did not understand that I was pointing out that Rosie and I have different definitions of authenticity. I'm sure you didn't mean to offend, but I was offended nevertheless. Sometimes posting a funny gif in reference to a serious answer has that effect, especially when it makes my response look like something that it is not.
I am authentic/real when I answer questions. There are times when I read certain muggers questions and I am not sure if I should respond because, I am afraid of being attacked/of someone being mean to me- because I am being honest and who I truly am when I answer questions.
