| Hey, Adrian! Good to hear from ya! Sorry I'm late in responding to your email. I did read it, but I needed to think about it for a while before saying anything. Truly, I've never been in the situation you're describing. I know that we both know that Felicia is dealing with a lot and really needs a place to vent first and foremost. I know Felicia vents to me a lot. It also seems like while she's meeting a lot of new people through her community work, she is likely having a hard time connecting enough to know who to trust. I mean, given that she's dealing with activists (an already opinionated group), that's understandable. She needs to know what their play is. She kinda has to view all these interactions through that lens. So yeah. It's gonna be rough for her. I hope you're ready for it.  Hi, Walter. Honestly, I'm not sure what it means to be ready. The last team Felicia asked me about how I'd hold up, I responded by trying to pull in more contact with mutual friends for her. I admit I never considered what to do about myself. I guess it's because in my mind things don't bother me quite like they do with her. I don't feel as strongly about the riots as she does. It's different for someone who's not completely white, I suppose. But what else am I missing here? What could possibly have her so worried about my mental state? Any ideas? Hey again, Adrian. It seems like you and Felicia tend to spend a lot of time together. Or at least you did. From what I can tell, her schedule has gonna far more complex lately. And maybe that has her worried about you. She knows that offline you tend to be a bit less social. I'm guessing that's a tough thing for her to handle on top of all the other things she's trying to balance emotionally. Even for more "typical" people her workload is a lot. I have no idea how she's pulling this off given her circumstances, to be honest. As for what you should do, well, I can't really tell you that. I think maybe journaling or posting more photos you took might help. It will keep her happy and perhaps give you something to do while she's off in negotiations again. It may also be useful in helping you reinforce what you know about yourself. I suspect that's a neglected issue here, but given how perplexed you seem to be about your own emotional state, I think it's worth a shot. Hi, Walter. You may be right. I know Felicia likes to ask me how I'm feeling or what I'm thinking. It's her way of expressing her softer side, something that seems to be more and more of a rarity. I suppose it's frustrating for her when I don't have a good answer. Heck, it's frustrating for myself. I did work with a counselor for a while, but I never knew what to ask in our sessions. Sometimes, I felt like Felicia knew what to ask or bring up more than I did. It's not that I can't or don't think for myself. I'm just not used to having to think about my own frame of mind. It's not something I saw a lot of growing up. So in this case, I will ask for your advice, because I'm all out of ideas. When it comes to figuring out what I feel, what should I do? I admit I have no idea where to start in supporting myself so I can support Felicia when she stops having to put on a specific persona? Can I be that life preserver for her? I sure hope so. I feel like both of our lives just might depend on it. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask |
