Well, I say things all the time that just kind of slip out. But I don't spend a lot of time worrying about them. It's not that what I keep to myself is something that I'm necessarily afraid of coming out...like they will reveal something bad about me...it's just that I'm well aware of the fact that most of the people around me are much more straitlaced than I am.
Mostly what I keep to myself are things that are darkly comic or sexually explicit...and curse words.
These are things that I keep from people whom I don't know well...until I know
better. But I don't fret over any of it.
At least, that is how I am today at 41. When I was younger I struggled with it a lot more because I struggled with the concept of "fitting in." Now I have no desire to fit in, but at the same time, I don't want to make people uncomfortable or offended by what I say. Sometimes I think things that are inappropriate to say in mixed company. *shrug* But it balances out with the people I feel I can just let it all hang out with. And TFP.
