Intensity. in The Napkin.

How emotionally intense are guys?

I obviously wouldn’t know, as I don’t date guys. I’m aware that I’m capable of some next-level intensity. I don’t think it’s for everyone. But. I’m also aware of the trope that guys are emotionally repressed.

Uh, that’s not me. It’s a balance of awareness of my mental state and only intentionally leaking what is necessary. Because left unchecked, I BLATHER LIKE HELL.

I’ve met women who have… nothing much under the surface. Or, so it seems. Not for lack of intelligence. Or maybe there just wasn’t anything to express at that time. Not having some deep underbelly isn’t a red flag. I just take note of those that are always emoting.

With my depression, I try not to get caught up in the minute details too much. No, really. I try to stick to the derivative of my moods. Most of the time, I am actually okay. It’s just that any introspection is a tricky slide. I try to be cool most of the time.

I have enough perception to be able to tell you exactly what you need to hear. And no, not in some lying sort of way. Of knowing what I want to express, and using my words to reach past the barriers and into your brainz.

Yeah, difficult to give an example in a vacuum, so I won’t try.

Oh, I jotted that down and wandered from my keyboard. Here’s a meme I made. Be safe out there, kids. Use condoms.
