Yes, this is me, too. Sometimes I do try to look at her when I'm talking about difficult stuff, but then I have to look away. I cover my face, or look at the floor....
I am getting better though. I just feel too 'seen' somehow, it makes me feel vulnerable. Like I might cry. In which case, the earth would hurl off its' axis and we would tumble into the sun, so, best not.
Thanks for this!
