27. I wouldn't tell anyone on DU anything about me personally.

Mar 2013

I was in a thread, just last night, where someone was wondering what could have happened to me to become so damaged. All because I thought him telling his 15 year old daughter that she can be nude around him, was crossing a line and was sick.

Yet, I was the vile one, I was the bully. And then opinions were formed that I must really be damaged goods, to think it was wrong of him to tell his teenage daughter this.

This place aint the real world, and there are creeps and sickos here just as there are all over the internet.
