So a while ago I asked something along the lines of "Do you ever feel like your'e exposing your inner self, making others uncomfortable, so they avoid you?"

Well...my thought this is now...I definitely felt like, I was exposing unhealthy, shameful parts of myself. I felt embarrassed that I might make others reflect this (mirror?), and start examining the things that they think I think of them. Wow-definitely neurotic now. And then they would become self conscious of these parts of themselves. So, overall, my exposed shame and awkwardness makes others feel their shame and awkwardness and thus they become uncomfortable.
