Admirable restraint around most, I suppose. However I am not most and I do not appreciate it. I find it somewhat insulting.
Have I? Perhaps it is better you discover them now, so they won't be so much of a surprise later on. If they are new sides of yourself to you, perhaps you are holding back more than you realize.
Yes, but will you be entirely you? I think I have seen the partial front you put on for the benefit of others, and frankly I only accept that it is real half the time; that you are genuinely entirely you...
You hold back for the sake of others, so as not to shock them with the edge underneath. I have opinions on this, but as long as you do not insult my intelligence by keeping the sword behind the velvet, I really don't care how you act with others. Keep them protected in that all too gentle way of yours, if you think it serves them or you.
