Hi @eudemonism
Just wanted to say, I relate so much to what you wrote. I'm a people person when I want to be, however I am limited in how long I can cope with people. I find I get extremely tired, even fatigued when around people, mixing with people. It's a bit like an athletic event for me, my mind is so challenged in monitoring all of what is being discussed and what truths and non truths are being delivered. I'm also frightened of people, they can consume you (sorry everyone) but this is the only way I can describe how my interaction is, as I am a person who can read others, their connection to the land, their relationship situation, their honesty and dishonesty regarding themselves some times their colours and life in general. People will cross highways to come and talk to me and I don't know them. I am learning as I am now getting older now, that I can turn off my "open to talk" face, this helps a lot to restrict the numbers of people who address me. I am also quite reclusive, and suffer from agoraphobia which I think is there to protect me. Do you feel like this? @eudemonism @eth @Sophia1 @MDT @The-red-centaur and others?
