So, is there ever a time or place when you can be your true self?

Hmmm, no, not really. Used to be that at home I could be, but now, with my current partner, I can’t be completely open either.

I also enjoy getting to know people when I’m in my wheelchair and as you get to know them, they ask things. And, I tell them!

I don't know if I'm an actor or a liar. And being a liar is very bad on my conscience. Being transabled can be true torture. I also enjoy getting to know people when I'm in my wheelchair and as you get to know them, they ask things. And, I tell them! About my accident, my physical limitations etc. I tell everyone the same story though, which is deeply embedded in my brain. I still have to, pardon the pun, "stay on my paralyzed toes" when I'm talking. I’m like Sean and find it very difficult too. I don’t know if I’m an actor or a liar.

I have found the very small amount of this that I have had to do so far very difficult. So, is there ever a time or place when you can be your true self? That sounds really stressful.
