I think there are different words depending on WHY you think you shouldn't share your inner thoughts and feelings.

Huh. I tend to interpret "deep feelings that one feel like they shouldn't share", to be feelings that are heavy for others to hear and risk affecting them negatively/emotionally in turn. Like depression, shame, disgust, suicidal ideation, anxiousness, hopelessness, anger or betrayal. People might not want to share for fear of illiciting sadness, pity, shame, worry, or withdrawal in the listener.

What different associations we have learned to make.

I have no hard and fast rule for this, it really depends. Some things are a hard no, others I play fast and loose with.

Or something like Snot Flickerman, am I right?

Unless that's your current name... In which case I've really put my foot in my mouth.

This question made me actually go into settings, and I can sort automatically by new instead of have to resort every time I open! Thanks!

There's a setting to sort comments to, on Voyager at least.

I don't get the metal on metal reference, sorry... Is that an imagery you want tattooed?

I don't know if a tattoo is material.. I guess the ink is, so I'll go with that.

Before coming of age I had plenty of ideas that I would be slightly embarrassed of today (and being slightly embarrassed is, as we know, the worst possible outcome with tattoos from a past you've outgrown).

I've changed my mind enough over time that I now know I could never decide on a permanent design. But right now I'm really into face spiders. Hopefully that notion fades by the time I feel secure enough in my career to do face spiders...

Tough to differentiate bots that only vote from human lurkers who only vote.

Are you American left, southern Europe left, eastern Europe left, or northern Europe left?

For how I use it, I recommend just getting a classic analog watch... I had a pretty cool one as a child with Bugs Bunny as a background. It was neat.

I like checking my pulse for fun and use the alarm for reminders during the day on my smart watch, but that's all the extra features I still use out of all the extras. It's a Garmin.
