I am glad things are so much better with your SO. That grin of yours makes it all worth it. Confidence comes with tackling more and more new circumstances I think. As for crowds, I was just at the beach on the boardwalk. I must have walked among thousands of people while there. So few people take any notice at all. Sometimes I am self conscious but once in a while I think, "You know, I am kind of a unicorn. Something that none of these others can claim. My life, my transformation is really kind of fascinating. I shouldn't be self conscious, I should really be proud of what/who I am." Now, that really goes for all of us unicorns, not just me. It is really a crying shame that it has been beaten into our heads that being different is bad. It is especially true for our generation, sadly. There is a lot to be said for pride. Somebody really ought to come up with a parade or a special month to celebrate pride and being different. Nah, it will never happen. lol
