You’re not being sullen—I think you’re being pensive and genuine!!!
Good to have you back writing and being!!….
I don’t have any “magic words or insight”…but was wondering, maybe your Medium profile is something you could share with whomever you grow close to to get another view of who you are…
I think letting others knows that your love language is gifts or actions—helps prepare those who are looking for the other ways….
Have a delightful day kind sir as you are!!!
Keep smiling!!☀️
