2024/12/30 Try not to be too concerned about what you believe someone elses expectations are of you in some way. You could convince yourself you fall short of what they expect or are hoping for and such thoughts are unfounded. Staying behind a barrier that offers some level of comfort is putting you at risk of appearing cold or aloof. Dont continue to give such a false impression. You can afford to be much more trusting. Its what someone else would like to see, too.
