LOL on the teeshirt idea. What great things to realize.

I still have trouble with my confusion and "what happened?" feeling at always finding myself in the hallway in elementary school, from talking in class or other little misdemeanors until the teacher got rid of me. Never thought of them as attention-getting to deflect discomfort from another situation outside (or inside) me! But I was so anxiety ridden it amazed me to find myself "in trouble" or in the spotlight. I thought of myself, felt myself to be a "good girl" and couldn't understand how or why I'd misbehaved. It was like it wasn't my fault.
