(45,251 posts)I post how I see things, without much window dressing. Diplomatic posting is not my strong suit.
Lots of cheerleaders and diplomats post here. So, you will not lack for cheer. But, if you ask me questions, the answers may not be cheerful.
One of my close female friends once asked me what I thought she was doing wrong in her relationship.
I had had opinions about that, but had been keeping them to myself. And I knew then, as I know now, that softpedaling was not my strong suit. So, I tried to beg off from answering.
She said "I know who I asked. If I didn't want to hear your answer in your style, I would have asked someone else."
So, now, you, too, know who you asked. I don't do cheerful unless I truly am optimistic about the topic at hand.
I hope you get from DU whatever you hope to get. Enjoy.
