So true.
And when you one day decide to speak out and unlock your thoughts you gain power from unknown places to stand and be counted. This fear is an illusion but one only discovers it through confrontation.
Come out of hiding. Say "This is me!!
" Am I not a wonderful being in all my uniqueness?
You say "I dont know you. (like this)" and I say "Yes so now we can get to know one another again!! Is it not wonderful?"
Become the adventurer and conquer your fears. It is so much fun!!
After all. It is only judment. There is nothing that can really hurt you.
