 So, yesterday this normie friend was like "I couldn't ask you questions to know more about you, you're iron shut. Chains and shackles." (Or something to that sort.) I was like "I'm like an open book, especially to some people including you, so what are you talking about?"

He was like "out of all the people I know, you're THE ONLY ONE I talk on signal (I told him that's the only place I'll talk to him on, even tho he did get an account because of some other girl. Actually, before me 3 other women told him 'conspiracy' stuff, but guess that's still not enough to wake him up and he's not talking to the one that introduced him to signal now) and you're the only I know that uses a currency that has privacy (something to that sort), so I figured you're super secretive. 

"Privacy and secrecy are two completely different things."

He continues: "Out of 100 contacts I have on my phone, NO ONE uses anything other than what comes with the phone itself but you." 

"Okay!!! They should do better!!! 
And you should make smarter friends! 😉" 
😄😄

"I don't want these companies to have my data doesn't mean I won't tell you about who I am. Two completely different things!!"

Actually, come to think of it, not being monitored or recorded makes me able to open up about who I am. Hello!!

P.S.
And he works in tech!!! 
Why, oh why, doesn't he see the problems in all the tracking?! Why?!?!?! 🤷🤷
