ARGH

Every time someone approaches me about something that's even tangentially related to paganism/witchcraft/spirituality, I feel like my metaphorical tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth. Even mythology/folklore talk makes me very nervous.

I'm just so used to not being able to bring myself to talk about this, and I end up panicking, I guess.

And in addition to that, I'm kind of at a stage of uncertainty with certain things right now - I'm exploring and examining and trying to figure things out and... Ah, well, sometimes I get the impression that people assume I know more than I do about, well, everything. (This is something I feel in other contexts as well, so...)

But freezing up when people want to talk to me about these things, or in fact anything, is STUPID. Because if someone approaches me in a friendly way, there's no reason to think that they will take something that I say negatively, even if I think that I sound like an idiot.

...Probably like 50% of all this is just my brain being fucked again, isn't it. Mental health garbage. ARGH. Though the other 50% is likely entirely reasonable caution about discussing things that I am not at all an authority on. So.

[/throws up hands] WELL. WHATEVER.
