Thank you for the shout out! Hard relate to absolutely all of this - my life is defined by accepting my own discomfort as to not inconvenience somebody else even though I would care not a jot if someone did it to me. I even did this just yesterday 🤦🏻‍♀️ it’s a journey

I know if I sat and thought about it I could come up with dozens of things I do to accommodate for the comfort of others at the detriment of my own 🙈 I get exactly the same awkwardness around inconveniencing others, although rationally I know it’s all in my mind. It’s the same as when I’m navigating somewhere and realise I’ve gone in the wrong direction, but rather than correct my route I carry on, because I don’t want anyone to know I’ve gone the wrong way even though NO ONE IS PAYING ATTENTION 😂😂😂

Fascinating. I've noticed that whenever I walk with the confidence of a man on a busy street, people are VERY confused. But they move, so I don't care.
