Skills/Needs. Rambles beforehand. Ohai lj

I desperately need to ground, and I'm hoping writing will be able to do that for me right now. I feel. Weirdly selfish? To be posting when I feel like what I have going on isn't as intense as what Annicka and Abby and Roger are going through and posting about. But. I know that's a ridiculous feeling

I'm massively over-extended emotionally and didn't notice until late last night. Stretched and stretched with a combination of just plain being around people and a lot of that interaction being really, really intense.

SO MUCH DITTO.

I hold space for people too, which I hadn't thought of as a skill before, but I feel you on it.

For me, too, my skills match well with what I feel a need for in relationship. I think this may be a truth generally? maybe people build skill in the things that matter to them, which are the things that they feel a need for?

Disrupting head loops is something that I feel I need permission for, I think? I remember I could do it with Kylei, because we talked about it and agreed it was a good idea. With others I worry that I am making them feel like I'm shutting them up.

This rings very true to me, too, the part about developing the skills that are important, and then wanting those things to be important to other people we entangle our lives with.
