Thanks Carolyn, I really do appreciate you saying such. That aloofness / withdrawing pattern has been such a big think with me, my whole life, and it sucks. My sister had commented how I'm hard to talk to, I think my Dad wishes we had a closer relationship (although it's a trait with everyone in my family) - I'm growing to be a better person just in general. Getting out of the comfort zone. It's so natural to give into it - it's uncomfortable to feel vunerable or too close - but that really limits the intimacy that I can have.
I'm so happy to be happy - or to be getting there.
Thanks a lot Carolyn - you're in my thoughts and prayers.
