Hi Candybear,

Yes, I think I understand the niceties that our culture expects from others-- like saying "Everything is fine". I think what I mean is that I say that to EVERYONE in my life-- my siblings, my mom, my kids, my husband and well-- even find I minimize to the psychologist I've been going to.

Maybe I'm scared that..... people won't care? believe? or will think I'm weak or get upset with me........ not real sure

Thanks for your reply candybear-- wishing you a good day.
