I actually find this stuff fascinating to read about. Not that I have a whole lot to offer in response. But everything here -- this is sort of what I love about getting older. We learn more about what our own habits and ticks are, and how we come across to others, and gradually we learn to identify our weaknesses and trust in our strengths. It's a constant process, and much of it is hard work, but cumulatively it all leads to greater self-knowledge and greater confidence. \o/
