Action: revealed presumably impending D to French friend on our run today, and he told me a bit about his problems. I am invited over to play music with him now. The world did not end when I revealed this stuff...

Luke, how would the Essential Experience workshop have been for you if you had Not disclosed anything about yourself?
Allow me to answer....it would have been a failure. But you risked and it paid off.
Personally, I am an extrovert and am far more terrified of being Unknown or misunderstood, than having a secret or two revealed or shared.
Often, not always but often, a friend shares a secret of mine to another friend, b/c they BOTH want to help ME. And they do.
I feel enriched by the friendships and my siblings are a huge help too, although they live back east.
I wish the same for you. But to think you could feel close, known, or understood and loved by someone you never reveal yourself to, is a much bigger risk imo.
In fact it might be part of why you and your w feel so distant. You don't share much with her and she shares little with you.
Your thoughts? Also are you coming out here next month? If so, let me know
