"A clenched hand cannot receive anything." I love this. It's so true. A lot of people feel like outsiders for reasons they have no control over, which is unfortunate. Perhaps being an insider isn't all that great, either. Do what works for you. All best.
Thanks for sharing these thoughts, Mat. It is definitely a struggle to be around other people and not really understand what they are doing, or what is happening. It is totally understandable to feel apprehensive about accepting help or friendship or even just a casual chat ('clenched hand'). Don't beat yourself up about it. All we can do is just try again.

Thanks for that. You're right. I just have to keep trying.
