And do not think that trying a humorous take will make people want a window into your life. I am instantly turned off; the use of humor lets me know the person is still a wreck and being dishonest about it, or trying to sell me something about it. The dishonesty/story manipulation is unattractive. Just tell me: My dad was awful.

I once shut down on a friend because she revealed some things about her crappy childhood. I remember thinking, she's too f'ed up for my liking -- and I am estranged from my family due to an abusive, neglected childhood. So be careful what you say, OP.[/quote]
