I'm incredibly confrontational with people I trust or people I'll never see again, and painfully indirect with the folk in between those two extremes

People like me need more people like you. :) Godde bless for your kindness to that young man, I am sure he appreciated it!

Only difference between him and me (besides a diagnosis of a on-Spectrum neuro-thing) was that by the time I was his age, I'd gotten the Intimidating Crazy Person vibe down pat, and had learnt to hide behind it to watch people. Rob was awesome, he just needed space to show folk he was awesome.

I'm'a go out on a limb, based on your profile here and your presence on Bel's list and guess that you're awesome, too. :) <3

Aww. :) Thank you! That's so nice.

Me, I am still figuring out how to navigate the social waters. You'd think four years of college might have taught me that by now, but, it's a process! :D

I just have to chime in too and say I loved the way you handled yourself :)

Thanks for posting that video. I find a lot of people I know walk a fine line between trying to be funny and saying something that sounds genuinely homophobic or racist, and there are times when I've wanted to confront them but haven't known how to go about it. Keeping this video in mind will definitely help.

Glad to pass it on. :) The rest of Mr. Smooth's site has also been a source of inspiration and ah-ha moment for me.
