Last week, I'd posted about a meditation group I'm in, and the dharma share at the end, and how it's so hard for me to say anything that feels eloquent, and i feel so nervous sometimes, sharing.

I did end up emailing the facilitator about it, and she responded! She was so nice about it, and said I don't ever have to share if I don't feel comfortable, and only share if I feel moved to. She said there's nothing wrong with feeling nervous, and that I don't sound stupid at all

I went again today, and it went fine. I didn't really feel motivated to go, but I went, and I'm proud of myself for that. I even said stuff that sounded ok to me this time (though, it shouldn't be an issue if I don't sound "eloquent"). There was another girl there today, who seemed kind of nervous, and does what I do during dharma share, and I felt better. I didn't think she was stupid or weird, quite the opposite. Very cute, and charming mannerisms.

Thank you to everyone who was supportive about this issue with me!
