It's kind of strange...I do not have a problem in the world speaking my mind when I'm teaching (reading teacher)...I can talk all day about stories, their meaning, etc...

It's when I get in certain social situations...where I don't know people well...and even sometimes when I do, that I shutdown. Idk what happens...extreme discomfort comes...I want to get away. It's almost like they take my energy. Idk how to explain it. So I avoid those situations..

I'll let you know when I encounter one...I feel pretty good with everyone I work with...very positive environment...good energy..etc. I tend to isolate myself aside from that....just not worth the effort, as I've had huge disappointments in people that I've known.

Maybe one day I'll try again.
