I feel so guilty talking about this "out of context," but sometimes I feel so ashamed after she's pointed out how she perceives me as having behaved when relating a situation to her. e.g., when describing a situation in which I had difficulty relating, interacting, etc. w/ other people, she said that I gave the impression of having relationships w/ other people, but that I was actually behaving like a cipher. Maybe this is true -- maybe I really don't connect w/ other people but just keep myself aloof thinking that others will do all the work in the relationship, but it kills me to be refered to as a "cipher." I feel mortified to think that that's the impression I'm giving her, and giving the entire world -- might as well wear a bag over my head.
