Would you consider yourself to be an open book?

Question

OneViewpoint · Accepted Answer

Nope. Not unless I get to know someone fairly well. It's not that I want to hide anything. It's more like I don't wnat to invest the time and effort with someone I may not care about. However some knowledge I carry in my head I'm compelled to protect either by my own moral code or law.

@thegreenyogi Your thoughts? Sometimes I'm open profile. Sometimes I'm locked profile.

Sometimes I even 😅 wonder if I should stay at G@G/GAG or merrily move on instead to enjoyable reality that other 30s do - like TV and chores and other commitments of my time ⏰

Far more open than most people are. I am not like the anon who posted "I'm not hiding anything" while posting anonymously. lol.

Yes I am an open book and speak my mind. So a lot of people don’t like me.

I’d say I’m a  selectively open book .  In my early career, I tried to be completely transparent with everyone—colleagues, managers, students. Over time, I learned that wise openness means:  - Being honest about my experiences, mistakes, and lessons learned  - Sharing personal stories when they genuinely help someone  - Keeping certain parts of my life private to maintain balance and boundaries  So yes, I’m open—but with intention, context, and respect for both myself and the person I’m speaking with.

HawkPerception · Answer

Yeah definitely. I don't really have secrets with anyone, other than maybe kids who shouldn't know some things at their age. It's both a pro and a con. Because I don't have many secrets to share with my partner.

NathanDavis · Answer

I can be an open book... for those willing to read, and also write on... lol

Depends what you mean by that. I'm not hiding anything. But just because you ask a question does not mean you get the answer that you want. I do not OWE you any kind of response.

I likely will respond. But the harder you push the more I'm going to resist. Take me as I am, take me at my word, or don't take me at all. Either is fine by me.👍

Not really.
I allow everyone to read me. But the meaning of each page is not expected to be understood by all.
Never mind - I'm not a prophet, but rather an individual with individual (few) 'fans'.

genericname85 · Answer

no. a book, you gotta read and interpret and have fantasy to enjoy. i just tell you straight up. you don't have to do imagining or interpreting. i just say it like it is and that's all there is to it.

SamIam96 · Answer

Yes. You can ask me anything and I will answer honestly. With one caveat. I have to feel safe with you having my most personal information.

molonski2 · Answer

No , I'd say vastly more complex beyond what most would understand. Public life , private life , secret life.

Sammy098 · Answer

Yes, I am. But depends on with whom I'm talking to. If it's a judgmental person asking a question then I prefer not to say much.

sage2021 · Answer

Pretty much I've been an open book. But recently I have kinda shyed away from being that way.

Tarifa · Answer

In most cases, yes. I'm very bad at concealing things.

FreyaRed · Answer

No. Being transparent and predicable for others is a tactical weakness.
