Notes to my therapist

1. I look at myself in the mirror for about fifteen minutes every morning. I usually have to sit down because my legs get tired.
   
2. I don't ask a lot of questions.
   
3. I cry every time I see a commercial with a father and son playing catch.
   
4. When I was a child I was obsessed with racism and read biographies of famous civil rights leaders. By the time I got to college I had one black friend.
   
5. I like the simple pleasure of exercise, but avoid competition unless I know I can win easily.
   
6. I am a sucker for compliments and find it hard to not smile when I am being praised.
   
7. At the same time I can be crushed by one insult or valid criticism.
