The truth cannot be set in stone. Much of what may seem to be a lack of self esteem on the surface of it can be an indication of its presence. There are many situations and relationships I avoid because I have self esteem. Yet, on the surface, this can look like avoidant behavior.
How one looks can serve as a form of self defence. My face has a totally different structure to it, these days, than it did in my youth. In some ways, the layer of facial musculature is a mask. It freezes and solidifies my general disposition. It doesn’t reveal subtle shifts so much, anymore. , I wear my authenticity on my face much more clearly these days, than twenty years ago. Authenticity and the mask are one.
