Let's have a mutual appreciation group - ha ha ha. I sussed out that you are basically intorverted like I am. When working professionally, dealing with patients, meetings, teaching and so on went against my deep need for "me-time". Fortunately, I wasn't socially phobic and I really liked helping people and training them. But it drained me. One of our differences today is that I don't need to earn money to survive anymore but you need to support yourself financially. I don't need to have an audience, customers... it doen't really matter whether people like my stories (I hope they do, though). I think that you do need your supporters, your networking, your audience and customers. Much love, younger brother.
Thank you, Ray. While I have been able to "extravert" as needed...even like you it drains me. These days I rather use that energy to create (and curate). And since getting the attention in person drains me so much, finding patrons online is a lot more viable. I'm lucky I'm connecting with more and more. Not that quantity is as important to me as quality. That's why I love Substack so much more lately. Love and light to you, Ray.
Then we understand each other well. Thus, we readily and intuitively support each other. Isn't that part of what loving is about? Love isn't necessarily romantic or erotic. I might not love you as much as a member of my family or a close friend but the essence seems to be there. [big smiley face and a heart]
