Re: Do people like YOU?
Lol...sorry I had to laugh at that. It's how I think others must feel in relation to myself. Sometimes I pity those who have to put up with my strangeness. I feel sorry for people when I'm in proper...

Re: How assertive are you?
Thanks BM,

Re: Do people like YOU?
I don't think so. I'm too self focused. Even when I try not to be self focused I often don't realise I'm being thoughtless and selfish until it's too late or I don't realise it at all. I worry allot...

Re: How assertive are you?
I'm learning how to be assertive. But when I am I worry that I'm hurting people's feelings or coming across like a bit of a *ss hole. I feel such an obligation to make sure people are encouraged and...

Re: Do you cry in public?
That's so typical isn't it. This happened to me in a car park in the early hours at night once where I thought I'd have the freedom to really let it go.
I must have been making a right racket...

Re: Banter with SA, can it be done?
Very true. So many of us put huge pressure on ourselves to act or behave in a way that we feel is expected of us. I know I do and I hate it, it means I can't be free or relaxed.

Re: Banter with SA, can it be done?
Lol, well I guess you have a point there.
Perhaps it's not about the banter at all. Could it be a self acceptance thing do you think?
