I think I'm struggling with "is it really so bad to 'act as if'?"
If we act as if we are confident, don't we become more so? And if we act as if we are happy, doesn't that attract happier people and events so that also becomes true? I'm so much less happy not knowing who I am really am than I was acting 'as if.'
So why did I crash in the first place? I haven't answered that yet. But I'm fearful of losing the the strong, good parts that go with the costume of capable and together. I think I like and need my emotional armor.
