No wonder I have been having trouble with friendships, it is like I am juggling all these feelings when I am with others. And when I have my feelings they can be powerful!
Has anyone else experienced this? Comments? Questions???

I think my post "learning to chill" ties into this. I too can only "be" witih people for a short time before I want to escape, begin to judge myself. With family where I feel safe, I dont have to have such a strong defence, ie the critical voice that shuts me down which thinks it protects me from rejection. Knowing its me thats doing this as a defence changes everything for me.
