Sarah,

 

I can relate. I am also very nervous around people. I feel like I am going to

melt or explode when I am in a crowd or even worse, a party. I just don't do

small talk, and I get very overwhelmed by all of the energy. I grew up with

ridicule and social akwardness, and as an adult it is hard to shake those

conditioned responses. I have been working on my own self acceptance, believing

that when I can finally love myself then I will stop being so hard on myself and

let my guard down. Still working on it though. This group of loving people has

made me feel so welcome and accepted and it has changed my life and how I see

others and myself. I spent a lot of time isolating and becoming hermit like to

stop the pain from coming in, but that was no answer. I'm on my way back out of

the cave now and am very glad for it.

 

Keep moving forward! With K there is no hiding!

 

Love to you,

 

Scott
