"your interactions with others always go more smoothly when you don't show your fear, right?"
I'm not sure Mark... I reckon people warm to you more when you're honest, and you can tell when someone is scared anyway. If someone tells me that they are scared of whatever it is, at least I can interpret their behaviour correctly?
But maybe among people who are not your friends you may have to put on a brave face. Is it a lack of trust instead?
or maybe I'm just lacking sleep!
Love to you
