Love this, especially the bit where say “Today a realisation that separating myself from others, feeling I don’t belong with them or I have a different role to them is a defence. I am keeping myself separate to avoid connection, to avoid rejection, to avoid disappointment in them and in me. Safer to be the lone wolf who plays at connecting but never really reveals anything. A skill I have mastered so very few know that’s what I’m doing. Make it about everyone else and it never needs to be about you.”

Not sure I’ve ever connected with something as much as I did when I read that xx

Isn’t it hard when you realise a truth you knew but really have pretended wasn’t there!
