I can relate to this Stopdog. I was anxious about flying, so bought a book on flying jumbo jets and learnt as much as I could before I flew. I also like to quietly observe others before taking the plunge myself with new things. I seem to have to have a certain amount of theoretical / brain knowledge, before I let myself loose. An issue to be explored with T or is it just about being me? We are allowed to hold onto some of our personality aren't we?
