I still don’t talk much but when I was young I was very, very quiet. I knew in my mind that I was okay, that I was going to be okay, but I didn’t seem to realize how I portrayed myself or how other people viewed me. I liked being alone and I didn’t really care. That is, until I started to realize that life was going to be a little different for me. Then I tried to understand. It still is confusing to think about. I used to get told that I wasn’t working to my full potential. I just took that with a grain of salt because I wasn’t thinking about the same things that the teachers saying that to me were.
Anyway…not sure what I’m saying. Maybe I’m looking for others who have given a lot of thought to how others perceive them, or why they are comfortable around certain people and not others.
