Hey All
What's the distinguishing mark between being self-centred versus honest and open? What's a healthy aspect in this?? When is not speaking being closed and when speaking being too much?

derralyn- that is what i would like to describe as an excellent answer.
Sorry - this is probably a silly discussion. I was just wondering the other day - as someone who has been both super-closed in the past and more lately super-open - where a good balance is. But: I reckon if it cant be dealt with in a quiet time and rest be found in God, then take it to trusted friends/trip/etc. Community is definately a key weapon in victory.
Thanks for the posts, Deralyn and Neels - much appreciated.
Haha! - I'm not indecisive about my comments... Didnt like the wording I'd used and felt I was going in circles! GRIN :-)
Dez, you have said a good thing here. And Ralph I think it is a valid discussion. There is another important point though that I think needs to ba added. We must also be mindful fo where the things said t ous are coming from. Things can be said in the right way and be recieved in the wrong way. What can and can't be said will depend on the specific relationship and the specific convictions of the individuals in that context.
Well - Ja - the context was actually more about being open about own, personal things or being closed - is there a time when you should just "suck it in" or is it good to be consistently open? Can you be TOO open?
Cool, thanks very much for your input Derralyn. I reckon there are definately gender precautions - it wouldn't be right for a guy to share his life story with a lady he doesnt know and vice versa (and even with those you do - some treasure should be retained for THE ONE).
Vicks, I think we are thinking similarly.
