true, FZ. (And thanks for the PM! 'Twill take some pondering FYI). Lately I have been watching the show "Lie to Me" and it is making me anxious -- if you haven't seen the show, it's about a behavioral scientist who is a deception expert who reads people's facial expressions with supreme accuracy. It makes me wonder how often my emotions are obvious to others, or to certain people.
But I think truth is, the majority of people have absolutely no idea what I'm feeling, even when it's fairly obvious. Like, even people who care about me a lot may very well have no idea when I've been feeling depressed. Still the anxiety is there.. I think certain people out there ARE good at this kind of detection and I find myself scanning for these types in every circumstance.
Oh well. Today my mood is better which I attribute to my bike ride. I bought a book of short fantasy stories called "Flights" today, which might help kick me back into reading again. Getting into a book has been supremely difficult but short stories may be doable..
