sharing with others

Our insecurities and vulnerabilities become secrets. We hide behind these masks because we're afraid that once people see these ugly traits, they're going to see us differently. The truth is, they probably do, they see us just like them. I think that we spend a lot of time trying to portray to people who we want them to think we are. So we talk about the things we want people to remember us for and same with our actions. I am guilty just as anyone else, most of this is subconcious I feel. What if we were flipped inside out?? Imagine kids with Tourette syndrome or someone in a wheel chair. Their secret is already out there for everyone to see. They can't hide behind masks.

Can we look into each other's eys and see our weaknesses?? Can we be more sympathetic to others with no stories told, just from mutual understanding?? Can we give the benefit of the doubt consistently? Remember one thing; you judge yourself before others do and you know what they will say. If you don't show that you are crippled, noone knows that you need support.
