I don't know what it is, but I just feel stronger more often lately. Of course, I still haven't had the balls to actually talk to some stranger out of the blue, but these things take time.
I have this image of you as a person who doesn't have much self-consciousness. It seems to me like you just do what you do, you act like you act, and you don't let what other people think affect you. And that is why I can't see you as lacking confidence.
Kicky, when I quit smoking, I felt great about myself - if I could quit, I could do anything. That lasted for years.
You're right that I do what I do and am who I am. Again, as I responded to Osso, I don't have much faith that the men I meet daily have any interest in that. Either that, or they think as you did/do, that I don't want or need a man in my life.
Why is it always all about men. Time to think how this affects my life beyond men.
