  • I feel I am constantly object of a crossfire….people is rarely friendly and it is not my fault, in this way it is also done the humanity , probably first of all I have to realize deeply it is not my fault, it is not caused by who I really am, probably it is caused by who I appear outside: my age, my body , my face not so pleasant in term of traits, my way to behave which is very unwilling to undergo to the expectations of people which I really don’t mind very much. Can I forgive them ? Yes surely , can I be less anxious ( continuous deeply forced breath) in this I separateness I expere constantly? I am working on it thanks to you.
