Not Feeling Very Communicative

[MakersDozn]

Or, as our grammar mavens would put it, we're feeling rather uncommunitive. (Stupid modifiers.)

Anyway, we've got a boatload of difficult feelings that have built up during the past....well, long time, and the only person we feel comfortable talking to is our T. Granted, having a good T is a plus, but we only get 45 minutes a week with her. We don't feel like opening up to other people, not even people here at MM. This is not a reflection on other people here; it's us and our issues keeping us silent and miserable and stuck.

Well-meaning people can say, "Go easy on yourselves" or "You'll move forward when you're ready." The problem is that some in our system are readier than others, and the reticence of the ones who aren't ready causes problems for the system as a whole. To put it another way, the problems of a few are making life worse for the many.

What to do? The hardest thing for us is simply to get the conversation going with outsiders. So we'll start here, and hopefully we'll get somewhere.
