It is so strange that you should mention that you are working on biting your tongue at the moment, because it is something that I have recently come to the decision that I am going to begin to do. I had to reconcile it with not censoring myself, but rather preserving my energy and dolling out information to those that can receive it.
I am suck of constantly having to explain and justify things to people. It is pretty exhausting after a while, and there is so much to each thing in which there is to talk about.
Yeah, I'm actually sad I've come to this. My biting my tongue is a decision I made because of what talking about myself leads to. I don't make a habit of talking about myself (offline.. it's unavoidable in places like this lol), but when people ask about me, it always leads to things people aren't open to. Which is a LOT.. most people are not open minded, as much as they pride themselves on being just that. You can't ask about me without something perking your ears.. I don't live by the norms and everyone else does. So I've decided I'd rather, at least for now, take a break and not be so open. I won't be lying about myself, but I'll be omitting and avoiding as much as possible with new people until they get a better feel for me as a person. Hate it... really hate tunnel vision and boxes.
