I was just sitting here writing an email to a possible new "T" when it dawned on me just how much we hate the word "I".

I equals some but not all.

It draws unwanted attention to ourselves- putting us in the spot light.

It's like proclaiming ourselves to the world for recognition- we really don't like being noticed.

It makes us feel like liars, like taking claim for an others accomplishments or failures and then reaping the unwarranted consequences.

It's embarrassing when having to take claim for an others "I'd never do" actions.

It is hollow feeling/sounding, like looking back into a shell of a person with the word echo/fading into the darkness.

It's really icky feeling.

It sets us up for failure when we promise to do something but can't or we forget.

It causes us to crazy switch trying to find the appropriate other.

It causes great anxiety to panic attacks.

It causes us to stutter- "I...I...I..."

It causes us to dissociate- to a staring daze with crossed vision and wide eyes.

It draws attention to the fact that the body is all wrong.

It makes us hesitate, checking ourselves, a very noticeable action.

It makes us feel humanly/mentally defective.

It leaves us speechless.

It makes us self-conscience.

It brings on waves of self-hate.

It brings on a round of "Who dunnit?"

It makes us look and feel stupid when memory fails us.

I word "I" sux.
