It's funny as I have looked at this post twice and came back to it twice...Guess the third time I will follow through and answer it...
I think many people struggle with self doubt...Wonder if they will meet the right person or question who they truly are...I have never thought about this as much as I have in the last few years...You see I met my soul mate long ago, yet never meet the real person who I am inside until more recently...
You ask are you crazy?...No, no more than I am....I, like you, have never been close with people...I guess more distrustful than anything...I found that getting too close to people can hurt....So I guarded myself against this...What helped me more than anything in finding the true person within myself, was talking with someone...What started my talking to her about a different subject, became a new finding of who I was inside and all the fears of life disappeared...I think a woman Therapist may also help you...One that you trust...One that you can really talk about life with....One that you can call your friend....
Talking with another people who know you can give you confidence in yourself...Can make the doubt disappear and the inner person escape from the fright of life...This way you are more able to tackle all your tomorrows....
I hope this post makes some sense to you...If it doesn't, please forgive...It just may be one of my "coming out" stages of life...
Find peace my friend,
Caroline
