I thought something was wrong with me for years. Turns out I just didn't understand how my mind works.

For years I thought something was wrong with me. I'd react before I knew why. Absorb other people's emotions without meaning to. Freeze under pressure. Second-guess every choice.

Turns out I wasn't broken. I just had habits I hadn't noticed yet.

Learning to work with my mind instead of against it changed everything. I ended up writing about it. If any of this sounds familiar, it might be useful.
