Honesty - something that I struggle with every day

A lot of personal shame and guilt and regret really go into that, I think. But I don't know if everybody else comes across that, whether they are able to be open with people or not, but I just seem to have some sort of mental blockage but I just can't be open with those around me that I do love and love me back

So I think it was something really valuable to share, and I think it'll be valuable for other people to hear it. I feel it's been valuable to me, and I wish you the best of luck on your journey. I have faith, because you do sound like I don't know you, but you sound like you've got a good heart and you care about these things, and the fact that you care, I don't know, is important

And you definitely have to give yourself credit for being able to do that at all because there are definitely lots of people, myself included, that would struggle to be able to share and talk about their insecurities in any sort of way. And the other thing that I want to mention is I think it's great that you're being self aware and noticing these things about yourself that may not be perfect or that you may not like and can have or can cause problems

And I think that has played into the fact that I struggle with being open and honest with people because of the disappointment that I've kind of become accustomed to from my own actions and then subsequently finding it quite hard to own up to those actions with people. Like I said. I discussed it at the point but there's been kind of three or four very major incidents in the last eight years that have been the culmination of not asking for help
