Because ..... we have a view of ourselves [as we percieve ourselves to be]
and yet also see another view also...
ie: our perceived impression of what other-folks see in us
This can flummox us... when we attach importance to how we want others to see us
The 'embarrassment' comes; when, we have, or suspect we have
'let ourselves-down' in sight of others
Indeed, if we COULD [all] just be ourselves
what ? would we want to hide ?
We have all made mistakes, disappointed ourselves [and others]
shame, comes of, realizing, that we could, and should, have done, much-better
Here, if, and when... we have performed at our very best
then, surely, there is no way we could have been any-better ?
[for, WHAT, can be better than our BEST ?]
It is in the heart that the spirit can reign
in the mind that peace can reside
and in fellowship that family can grow
HYE... wanted to live alone [by yourself] because: company was 'stressing you'
