Let me pose a serious question to my friends and post and reply to steady recipients here.

Say we all met in real life for breakfast and a day just enjoying life together in person as real friends do. Would you be comfortable with me dressed as Willa, or would you want me to be dressed as my regular William self.

Be honest, because I have sat here and thought how wonderful some of you all are here, and if we ever met in person as "Friends" how would you feel comfortable with me being, especially since you all 99.9% of you here only know me as Willa.

This is just a God's honest simple question I have pondered for quite a while, and I decided to ask it openly without any judgement either way to your honest replies.

Sincerely Willa that can be known as William at different times.

I would want to meet and talk to the person you felt most comfortable being.
Anything else would not really be authentic and would diminish you.

@nowic2 This is what I was talking about, and I was not talking about meeting other people to dissuade
them or to somehow counsel them. I am talking about you as the individual and not you the counselor.

It is true. No one who went into any career or college did not do it without a little unknown but living in fear of that unknown and not taking the step to change your life is a prime example. Or not seeking help via medical or counseling because you're afraid of it. It all revolves around "You" having the fortitude to step out of fear and trying.

I meant step out of your comfort zone and seek out what you do not know about and educate yourself on those things. Instead of sitting back and living in fear of what you do not know about or understand. Self-education and trying something new for yourself has nothing to do with dealing with people. And that is what makes your life richer in the knowing and trying over living in fear of the unknown.
