I’ve been cooped up in the house with my lady. She’s working from home. I get that all of us have traumas, but I’m not making comparisons; Raymond is talking about his right now.
She’s stressed out because she’s got a giant workload. Raymond, being an attention seeker who likes acting in service and giving gifts, has been getting separation anxiety from simply her doing her job... in the same house... 5 feet away. Woe is me.
I hope you sensed the sarcasm. There’s a type of shame that stems from being aware of how Raymond is feeling that can only be reconciled by letting the shame go; feeling anxiety because your lover is simply in another room and feeling shame.
Power through your anxiety, Ray. Nothing will change unless you make it change.
Make uncertainty certain.
