Totally agree..
Funny, since I have realised that I have SA, I have been in total CONFLICT with myself. I find myself somewhat disgusted with my self (behaviour/actions) because my SA FALSE mask self (who is afraid) does not represent me (the person that I really am). But I can't help showing the world my false mask SA self because I live in fear of judgement, criticism, riducle etc. For me, it's a vicious circle. But I know to get out of the circle I need to learn to love and accept myself exactly as I am. Problem is, so far I haven't figured out how to do this.
