Aversion to Talking

When you consider how much of my life I share, people are often surprised when they find out something else about me. I've mentioned before that despite how much I talk about, there is a lot I don't talk about. I censor myself, and often have a hard time sharing alot of things.

In the world, I can count on one hand the number of people that know a lot about me. The background stuff that doesn't get shared to the world. And yet, here I sit with things on my head that - while not bad by any stretch of the imagination - I've not spoken to anyone about. I'm not dwelling, stewing or fretting, nor am I worried, scared or anything else negative.

I just have this very strange aversion to opening up, sharing, telling people what is what. It's not even a by-product of me and Jo going our seperate ways, it's something that I've always done, and now I am blogging about it, I know of... three people that will shout at me for not sharing.

Lucky for me they are all girls, and thus hit like themselves.

I'm not even sure why I am blogging about this. A vague blogpost talking about me... Not talking about stuff.

Suffice to say, my head is jumbled all over the place - not in a bad way before anyone starts on the "oooh what's wrong" and I can see exactly what is happening, but I've not told anyone, and I don't get why. A psychologist would prolly say something like, Trust Issues, Fear of Hurting Others, Fear of Rejection... So apologies for the random, rambling blogpost. Hopefully in the next day or two I will have spoken to my inner circle (or a shrink!) and will have my head a little less weird.

Deb: I'm not sure I have "issues" per se, just nuances and, as someone pointed out the other day, like Shrek, I'm an Ogre. No, wait, an Onion. I'm an onion, with layers ;)

Shrek: Ogres are like onions.
Donkey: They stink?
Shrek: Yes. No.
Donkey: Oh, they make you cry.
Shrek: No.

Sod having to be the person to peel back through them ;)
