((((Tabitha))))
It sounds a whole lot like my belief that I'm imposing myself on others. That others can't possibly want me in their space. That crops up a lot with me, and was a big part of why I'm upset about what happened with my therapist this week, just as one example. A large part of my life is organized around that core belief.
I wish I could give you ideas on how to change it. Unfortunately, insight doesn't always lead directly to change. I've tried forcing myself to "be intrusive" in social situations, but willpower alone doesn't work for me.
Can you think of small ways to *do* things that will end up with results that will not be in keeping with the belief? I have the feeling that that may be the key, although I have no direct proof.
