being misjudged

on rare occasions I meet someone who assumes that I’m reasonable and not crazy and not extreme and not me and “am normal” and don’t express myself honestly.
sometimes they friend request me.
seeing one of them delete their friend request, after a few weeks of my posts, is amusing.
seeing people not yet realize that I’m not your average easy going type, and then seeing them find out… is just sorta amusing.

a minor thought about the Dorian Mode

wonder what percentage of people who know how to play in what is effectively THE DORIAN MODE (any time you are in minor, but using Major 6ths and still minor 7ths (and major 2nds, etc)
wonder what percentage of such people who know how to PLAY It realize that
THE FOUR CHORDS (the IV chords are MAJOR in it, and this is one of the distinctivenesses (nice word) it has.

and one of the awesomnesses. (nicer word, and apparently not one, also.)

it is best if I follow MY instincts

often when have wanted to do something, instead of just doing it, I have delayed it (forever) by asking others how THEY think it should be done, then getting super upset because their answer is at odds with my own instincts.

in the end, it is best if I follow MY instincts, not others. even if I’m wrong, often.

otherwise, who’s life am I leading, eh?
:)

Therapy is cool. It helps to teach me such things.
