Pressure to share

Your authenticity in your posts always amazes me. You sound like a genuine person. I am sure if share how uncomfortable you still are they will understand... but also it doesn't hurt to push yourself a little. Trust your rythm, you are there to feel free and not pressured.

So Joel just called me, he is not happy. I took a urber to work, he drove so he's going to go home shower and get me and we'll head to the meeting and head home to watch the game with the kids.

He told me we didn't have to go if I didn't want to and he was going to call the person who sent out the email and talk to them.

These meetings help him alot he's been struggling a bit especially since he hurt is ribs. He's having a lot of pain in his stomach. The doctor said it was normal. Anyway he's the one that wanted to go back.

I told him I'd be ok going but I'm not ready to share. He asked if I was sure (about going not the not sharing part) I said yes and it would be fine. I have honestly enjoyed going. It helps even if I'm not sharing.

He said that was a good idea and that he just wants me to be ok tonight. I told him I would bring my air pods and I might take half a anxiety pill.

He said ok and he'd pick me up in a few hours

If you do choose to share , how you share it and how much of it you share in detail is up you , you can practice at home by yourself in your room or writing it down to find ways you feel comfortable in expressing it , I like to end things on an positive for example , I went through this , however Im now determind to overcome it , just an example , some people like to add some humor but like I said , finding what works best for you.

Maybe you could say I'm willing to share but just for a quick two minutes intro.. I am still in a shell and I want to share with you but I feel an inner anxiety to fully share.( That's only an idea. )

You share when you are ready. If you’re ready. If you are not ready it’s not gonna benefit you. You can always open up to us here and see how it goes.
