Seriously, I don’t. I guess all the years of writing for the web and being told to keep it short made me cut out emotional descriptors. I also don’t lie and sometimes am too blunt.
However, if I am wrong or realize I have hurt feelings then I’ll apologize.
I’m really depressed and felt like I needed to clear things up because I feel like people think I’m a hardass. Maybe I am a little.
I don’t see you as a hardass 
I think you are great the way you are!
It’s ok if you’re blunt. You also seem very nice and you love your family.
It’s okay to be straight-forward. Everybody’s different and that’s just how you are. You don’t have to apologize for it.
Sorry you’re feeling down. Be good to yourself. Hope you feel better soon.
Nothing wrong with being a hardass once in a while. It’s that fluid dynamic of good and evil within all of us that makes us human…prone to mistakes…
But the goodness balances things out which is why your opening post was also thoughtful and empathetic.
The Ying and the Yang!
I don’t see you as a “hardass” at all. You seem like a nice person to me.
Thanks all. I’m just really depressed. Feeling bad about how I’m perceived.
And depression in general. I can’t seem to DO anything.
Cheer up buttercup. Everyone likes zombies.
I need to get started on another book. Maybe not zombies this time.
I think you shouldnt be afraid to tell people what you really think.
You are amazing @anon4362788. Don’t ever forget that. Children aren’t only meant to receive your unconditional love, they’re meant to give it to you too. You are loved, always.
We all have days like that. How can I be so intelligent and so stupid at the same time? That sentence sums up my life to this point. I’m the Queen of doing stupid stuff.
