Good advice, but it's a difficult habit to break. I know my metaphorical yardstick is kind of fucked up, but I haven't managed to adjust it--one of those knowing isn't the same as believing things.
I'd like to learn to relax. My shoulder muscles would like me to learn to relax.
What gets me, though, is that I shouldn't be afraid. I'm a perfectly likeable, capable person, and yet.
Another knowing/believing thing that would be good for me to internalize, I guess. Meh.
*sighs* yeah, I know. The hardest thing about advice is a)following it and b)forgiving the person for giving it, even if it was solicited. XD
I'm with you on the shoulders thing. I'm using birthday money for a massage, I've decided, 'cos when mates try to give me one they bruise me, I'm so tense.
I don't think many people should be afraid. It's just something that happens. What counts is whether you keep going anyway, or whether you hide from it, I guess.
