Who are the people that are regularly influenced by you and do you check yourself to be sure your influence is setting the example you intend or hope for?
No one, I hope. My goal is to be invisible.
If it's not too personal, why?
@nvrnuff lifelong bullying and rejection means attention is terribly uncomfortable for me, feels dangerous. For most human social monkeys, rejection is death. For me, being noticed is death.
@stinkeye_a Sorry you've had to endure that, I too have had to deal with it. Any help I can give is offered gladly, no preaching or strings attached.
I haven't any influence. I've never been able to impact another person's thinking.
Also, check myself for what? Fleas?
Maybe you just haven't been aware of it.
@DenoPenno that's a non-zero possibility. It's just never happened when I tried to do so.
