A *rare* public post
I'm sticking my head above the parapet for once, as there's something that needs to be said.
I've always tried, ever since I've been online, to be a good friend to people, and for the most part, I think I've succeeded.
However, there have been 3 events in the last few months, with 3 different people, that's made me question exactly how people see 'me' as a person.
I think I'm a good person, yeah, I have faults, but, hey, no one is perfect.
I guess what I'm trying to say here is, if I've ever done anything wrong with anyone, whatever it is, then it's not been done with any harm intended.
I've never filtered any posts that I've made that people on my friends list on here can't see, and I'm not about to start now, as I firmly believe that I have nothing to hide, and that if I've trusted people enough to read my entries, then I shouldn't 'hide' anything.
Is it too much to expect the same from people on my friends list? I don't think so, but on 3 separate occasions in the last 6 months, it's happened to me, and I'm mystified to know what I ever did wrong to the 3 people concerned.
If anyone's read this far, then thank you for listening.
I'm seriously considering taking an extended break from LJ again, as I have had enough of people doubting my intentions.
That's all for now.
