Bill. I understand what you are saying. That is exactly the truth. Makes me wonder how the heck I am supposed to be my "natural self" when I know I'm being examined every minute. It makes me nervous and anxious whether I'm doing something right or wrong all the time.
I try to have faith and watch and listen. Then I try to decipher what he said and how I am about to act or speak. Not sure how natural it is to do that, yet I know that I am learning. At the same time I'm working on me I'm trying to balance what he needs and expects. Suffice it to say it can be confusing.
