...There is so much truth and beauty in this post! <br /><br />We're probably the most highly social species on the planet. We rely and revel in our social spheres, however they are comprised. Yet we're also so terrified of revealing our flaws and doing everything we can to hide them. Scared that ones we admire will reject us if only they knew.. saw.. found someone better.. smarter... more worthy...<br /><br />Yet the hiding, the fear, and all the baggage that entails are the very things that hurt those relationships. Another time I'll make that sound more elegant and less 'self-help tips for the socially anxious' bargain bin! The point is valid.<br /><br />My own fears of looking stupid and being rejected or scorned almost made me delete this without posting, then I realised I'd be proving my own point, but not in the good way. Haha, tricksy human frailties! <br /><br />willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11523354895848253129noreply@blogger.com
