Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • When someone I love is excited about something, I want to actually light up with them and draw it out instead of just saying “nice” and moving on
  • Something genuinely good happens and I just sit on it
  • Something genuinely good happened today and I noticed I just kept it to myself and moved on
  • I can never answer "what do you love?" when someone asks me straight out
  • When something strikes me as beautiful I almost always keep it to myself, even with someone right beside me
