One of the three pillars of the COA is Respect. Sometimes I wonder if I have too much respect. I often will distance myself from others not because I don’t like them but because I don’t want to violate their personal space. I think this makes me come off as distant and that I don’t like them. When in truth I like them so much I don’t want to do anything to make them uncomfortable. This internal war I deal with makes me sometimes be very nerd awkward and unsure of myself. The worse part about it is I don’t know how to fix myself. I hope that I will be able to relax and just let go and learn to know when I am encroaching on that space.
