That's true but then I think that whenever my mother starts talking about cardiac cases and putting leads and catheters and stents(?)in people my eyes probably glaze over the same way. Sometimes she says "I wish I could be creative like you," and other times she says she has no idea why I'd want to do the things I do. Not so much writing, because I don't usually share that with her, but the sewing and knitting. She doesn't understand why I would feel excitement going into a bookstore or craft store. I guess it's hard because I think she has a tough life and I try to let her talk about herself a lot to make up for it, but I realize that I can't share much with her. Our brains are wired differently, I guess.
Sometimes I think that the worst part of being a shy person without a big social network is that you try to squeeze too much out of the people you have.
