WHAT IS THE LINE OF ‘NORMAL’?

My desire, my really deep desire, is for us all to be more open with one another. I have always been a really open person, so I do appreciate this is a personality trait and therefore not one that everyone will agree with. My desire to be open has always come from a place of seeking to make others feel comfortable with me. Relationships are so important to me.
