Disappointment. Should I change who I am? Am I a bad person? Do I really care? I resent that those thoughts have arisen once again in my psyche. We all have blind spots as to how others see us. But how often are you forcibly confronted with behavior that baffles you only to be told that you caused it yourself…

I’ve been told I scare people. I’ve been told that I’m a calm person and a happy-go-lucky soul. I’m dependable, reliable, and a joy to work with. Somehow that doesn’t jive with being told I scare people…. Something about poking the bear. I realize that people only can see you thru their own perceptions. But, hey give me a break. Why do I have the “E.F.Hutton” effect when I talk?

Do I sound exasperated? Well yes I am. What do I change, if anything? Is it okay to be me?
