Recognizing my *own* shame

and its sources?

is really helping me be able to see, I *think*? and, possibly, accept? and even *work with*, to some degree, *other* people’s shame. As in, this whole ‘face saving’ business, and why it’s so important, and why we pretty much *all* do it, even me, the so-called ‘truth teller’.

My attachment to ‘truth’ is – what – going to have to pin this much up, look at it, come back. Don’t know what the next step is yet.
