One of my tendencies is to overreact (imagine that!), much like a pendulum. When I was drinking, I didn't care. Now I care - too often to the point where I can be afraid of doing or saying something that might hurt another - even when I know it won't. These are things I pray about, give to God. He can and does stop the insecurity and agonizing over what should be simple things. Eventually, I know  too...

yes i can.  a beginning is realizing it.  next is changing it.  time to get honest.  look at the fear and insecurity.  find it's root cause.  talk and pray to God about it.  it's work to change old behaviors, but so well worth the effort.  you'll feel good and others will see how good you feel! 

it's not perfection.  practice it!  God Bless.  ;)
