Although I said we're all unique, this sometimes can raise the ego's voice. Like "OMG, I'm soooo unique, nobody will love and understand me".

But truth be told, everybody wants to be loved and accepted (not that we need to), just like you. Society seems a very judgmental place where people are horribly cruel, but it's not like that at all.

The openhand approach is extremely useful, but I'm also a huge believer that remembering the truth in the moment and acting from that space also dissipates distortion (in this case, your second guessing).

Another tip would be to NOT smoke marijuana (if you do) before engaging with people. In my case, it would increase the heart palpitation that comes from anxiety and make it more difficult to cope with. Your next goal would be to stop smoking at all.

boa sorte,
Eduardo
