But you are right--the important thing was stepping out of your zone. And as a woman, yes, it can be way too scary to hand out info. I hear Jeffrey Dahlmer was charming, too.
I'm with Flowmom on the MC thing. I hope you can keep it something that DOESN'T eat up your heart with anger and vengeance. If your engaging in the battle can protect someone else, good. If you are doing it mainly out of anger, well---ask yourself if it is worth the emotional energy.
Your new IC sounds great. Mine, too, has asked me to have more compassion for myself. Take it easy on myself. Sigh.
Keep going out, keep saying hi to people, and the rose to the office manager was PERFECT! what a lovely thing to have done.
