So cool! I have a tendency to hide as well, which is why it's so refreshing to establish a relationship dynamic where it's totally OK and encouraged to share everything (though you don't have to go into detail about everything, otherwise you'd be sharing 24/7).
a book called Lying, by Sam Harris
I may have to check this book out. Does it help with hiding less, or just being honest more? (Or is there even a difference between the two? lol)
It's a work in progress
Always is and always will be. Kinda reminds me of a saying I used to hear when I was playing poker full time, "Every five years I realize what a terrible poker player I was five years ago." There's always something to improve on in life, but that's what makes it keep getting better!
