I more and more feel like it was a mistake to turn down my invitation to the recent staff reunion/speaking-for-the-dead, but I continue to feel like I could not, at the time, have convinced myself, by telling myself only true things, that it was safe for me to be there or that I was in fact welcome.
I re-mention this here because it accords with and marginally confirms:
going from “Anna is avoidant, afraid, and tries to control more than she ought” to “Anna is in the process of updating, seeking feedback, and has reaffirmed honesty as a guiding principle.”
Like, “Duncan felt unsafe because of the former, and is now regretting his non-attendance because of signals and bits of information which are evidence of the latter.”
I endorse Unreal’s commentary.
