Take him for example, I want to somehow tell him that I really appreciate him and think of him as family, want to comfortably show him that I love his presence in a crowd or just in front of the t.v. but I'm unable to even relax and say what I think about anything. Is it always going to be this way between me and the people who I respect but am not as familiar with?
Maybe it's a matter of wanting to make some sort of favorable impression. I don't think it's because I feel inferior... it's not that. Something close to it, but not that.
