Note to new friends
both real-life and online:
I have recently, and fairly suddenly, opened up how close I let people get to me, how quickly, and how much I let them know. I *think* this is a good thing, but might mean that I display incongrous shyness or reticence, or don't communicate all that rapidly (as I don't have a habit of this). Please just bear with me if this happens ;)
This openness occurred after a particularly disastrous (for me) depressive mood crash in late August, as a realisation that I needed to change some particularly destructive behaviours. I'm hoping that it will work, and last.
