sand bags, barbed wire, and clymores. The good, they work very well at keeping people from sneaking up on me. The bad, not many people come to visit.

i usually just make fun of the person and use big words. if it escalates i will use threats of bodily harm. it usually ends there.

Do you have any?? What do you like/dislike about the ones you maintain?? I keep a certain amount of distance (emotionally) with the people I deal with, even with some of my relationships. I do it because I simply don't trust the person I'm seeing as I (quite accurately) assume they'll pull a 180 on me and flake out or something. |

Cautious is good, how do you know when to let yourself trust in that person? Whats the longest it took for you? The shortest? |

Cautious is good, how do you know when to let yourself trust in that person? Whats the longest it took for you? The shortest? My trust in a relationship will depend on what the person I'm seeing shows me. There'll often be little cues I'll notice that will show me whether or not she's gonna be a flake or something worse. It can take anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks, if not more. |

Walking through the bushland if I come across a grumpy King Brown, (snake) my defense mechanisms are alive and well...
![]() Up at the pub, if faced by a drunken agressive person, who is threatening, my defense mechanisms are alive and well... If there is a fire close to home, my defense mechanisms are alive and well.. If in a romantic relationship and things are not what they are supposed to be........my INSTINCTS are alive and well.. I have a strong sense of survival. ![]() |
