6. Say it out loud and talk it out
7. Write a little and learn

Great post. So hard to be real when our minds are elsewhere.

That really is a great list!!!

By me most of those things are products of feelings of low self esteem/insecurity, guilt/shame. Those cause me to hide, to doubt myself, and to look for other peoples' validation. My selfishness pushes me away from connecting to other people, helping them to make their life easier, since I am in such a bad place.

Thanks for that, and the second list is also great, I find that if I do those things before acting out, it helps me a lot.
