    Most people will believe whatever they want to believe, regardless of what you say. That’s their problem, you do you.

      Objectively, I fully believe what you said. I just wish I could subjectively accept it in my heart as well and no longer feel worry about what others think.

      Admittedly, there is value in being aware of social expectations and its nuances. What I want is to find out how to have the sensibility without the anxiety.

        I understand you, because I’ve been there, plenty of times and may occasionally be again, dependent on variables, I suppose, with regards to expectations and anxiety. What I’m trying to convey is, sometimes (often), saying too much is as bad or worse than saying nothing. Know when to bet, fold and call. At least if you say nothing, there’s nothing to twist up.
