continued detachment, anxiety, and joys of limbo

[Sotto]

"I'm uncomfortable letting too much of myself show. Part of that is a lack of trust, part of it is simple shyness, and part of it is doubting myself.

And that is why writing here helps me sort things out. It took me 45 years to realize that I am awkward around new people because I don't feel comfortable showing them the real me. I am acting like someone that they will think is normal/typical, basically acting like someone else, and that feels strange and uncomfortable."

.....Ooh, the stuff by Brene Brown is going to be helpful I think..... xx
