Do I exaggerate, get it wrong?

Of course! Oh, I definitely dip a bit into the world of fancy. I do so for many reasons, including a belief that I am somewhat read locally, and from certain sectors, and sometimes just because until I have a topic down I may well flirt with a number of different or even opposing lines of thought. I misdirect, use metaphor, analogy, parable, and other tools. My goal is to work out my ideas here, but in such a way sometimes that no one has any idea who, what, or where. I have noticed even that doesn't always work or what I did makes someone I wasn't discussing think they are who I was discussing. Yes, I can read you. Most people wear their hearts on their sleeves far more than they might think. There are a few I can't see into, not many. With them I listen to verbal cues. What I can't see or hear is darned good at cover, not foolproof though. You, yes you, I probably know if you read here or have heard about what I wrote.

As for being a delicate flower? Not so much. You could tell me I am an idiot. I would agree for my own part if we might part ways on what you think I did that was foolish. You might even declare that I should be shot, to my face. Really, so long as you didn't try to carry it out, I would merely try to get to the bottom of the problem. I might even agree with you, though I would hope to negotiate a lighter sentence. You really aren't going to hurt me, emotionally. It's not even that I am a stone, though I am probably closer to that from being tried than most. I am quite stable. I simply let my thoughts roam, I have guilt about some things rightly or wrongly (if I do try to change or seek forgiveness and guidance on some issues). I use anonymous others to beat up on me in some ways at some times, too. That offers perspective, or allows me to figure things out, or even gives me an opposing force through which to create a defense or defenses. Much like playing chess alone is one method of learning the game and one's own difficulties, weaknesses, and strengths.

Along with all that, add a good dose of humor. Even my darkest pieces, some of them, if you look not at the darkness but what is not dark in the posts, you might get a nose bleed from laughing. For a physical example, take a black and white picture and reverse the coloration. While that isn't necessarily funny, with ideas it can be. If you have a certain sense of humor. Actually, many of my posts, including some where I am frustrated or confused, are written with the lightest of hearts. While I can be moody. Not treacherously so, just... I have moods and can express things through the lens of my moods in an exaggerated fashion. I can also be artistic, theoretical, cynical, and the rest. Just don't take what I write as my absolute final answer, or necessarily too seriously if I will sometimes write that way too.

Mostly, on topics unrelated to efforts or mundane life, I write with a direct intent. That doesn't mean I believe everything there, specifically. More generally I do believe, or at the moment, what I am writing. You should walk away with a general idea or three. I try to include some caveats, doubts, concerns about my take on things but sometimes there are none. No, I don't believe everyone in this valley who has met me would see me hung, drawn and quartered, then beheaded at one time. I don't believe anyone would actually, probably, do that currently if it were in their power, mostly. I only mean that I have a serious way of pissing off even kindly old men and women, so the younger lots can stew much more profoundly. I do have a way with that, if it isn't necessarily something I mean to do. I do, however, think that I fall below contempt for a number of people in a number of ways. That I do believe. Rightly or wrongly. The ones who have a point, if it is in my power, I am trying to change that outlook (if for me more than them). The ones who simply don't understand where I am at and what I am, I pray that they find their way to understanding.

It's still a bit funny, but if I were falling off a cliff... I would take just a bit of time to chuckle at the thing, if I had the time. How did I get here? Ah, okay. Heh... Zounds this is going to hurt.
