This is so good! God, I remember this feeling of embarrassment (crippling) in my childhood, HS, 20’s, 30’s. I think the lack of it (or feeling it much much less) is one of the things I love about my 40’s and 50’s. AND I don’t think it has to take that long. Also love the YouTube video you shared. Really good!
This is so, so relatable. So much of my life and my writing has been stymied by embarrassment- or even the possibility of embarrassment. It’s so useful to put it in perspective of what it really is- a hypothetical of someone else’s thoughts. Put that way, who cares?!

It's such a good video! She's not for everyone but I love her and think it's such a great way of breaking it down.
It's SO crippling! And so wonderful you've been freed of it. I'm working on it!!

YES! And for me, put that way…can I afford to care??
