I talk a pretty good game on this blog and can seem like I carry myself with the poise of a supermodel in public but internally, I&#8217;m the polar opposite.  Part of it might be my extreme introversion (which I can fake my way out of for a couple hours at most before I need to go cower in a corner in a dark room) and part of it might be the depression.  I tend to run conversations in my head for hours after I&#8217;ve had them and critique them so it&#8217;s pretty common that I wish I would have said something differently or just kept my mouth shut at points to avoid sticking my neck out.<\/p>\n<p>The song, &#8220;The Warrior Is a Child&#8221;, fits me to a T.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;margin-top:15px;margin-bottom:15px;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The warrior is a child\" width=\"584\" height=\"438\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K5o2YY5BRUg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Especially the following lines&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>They don&#8217;t know that I go running home when I fall down<br \/>\nThey don&#8217;t know who picks me up when no one is around<br \/>\nI drop my sword and cry for just a while<br \/>\n&#8216;Cause deep inside this armor<br \/>\nThe warrior is a child<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is why confidence would be such a superpower for me.
