If you put your feelings out in public, the response will be mixed.

Some will praise you for your courage to speak. This will create a feeling of acceptance for you.

Some will attack you, visciously, for voicing your truth. This will create feelings of contempt, anger, fear, incredulous disbelief…….ect.

My own MO is to NOT talk about how I feel unless and until I am strong in my conviction. That way, I cannot be hurt by the responses of others, on either side of the equation.

It has taken me a very long time, and many tears, to finally realize that my tender self needs protection, by ME.

Discernment has finally arrived. Not everyone is trustworthy so a public forum is simply not the place for me to discuss vulnerable feelings.
