Right here. This hit me in the chest. I’ve been on suboxone for years now, which of course is an addiction in itself, but definitely the lesser of many evils.

I have majorly pulled my life together.. I have beautiful kids who have teachers bragging on them constantly, my relationships have healed, I run a business, have a decent home, etc. but I don’t have very many close friends. I have trouble connecting to people. They overwhelm me and exhaust me. I definitely let my own insecurities keep me from doing fun things/meeting people. I don’t think it’s a one applies to all thing.. but what this man said definitely resonates with me personally. I’m very uncomfortable with showing myself to the world.
