"How do I learn to get along with others when it seems I can hardly get along with myself?" How many of us are struggling with this crisis within ourselves right now?

your comment about the post-COVID world startled me. "a gathering inferno" indeed. a shitstorm coming in over the mountains (i'm in denver). the pandemic changed me. i just cannot make myself go out except for groceries and to visit a dying friend. when i do go out i'm paranoid and furious. i have no idea why. i'm 71 next month. i don't want to live the rest of my days this way. i was teaching high school in 1980-87. the very best 7 of 37 years teaching. the music of that era feels like my own as much as the actual music of my own teen years in the 60's. i often dream of my classroom in the 80's. i crank up AC/DC live in the car sometimes to get good and thunderstruck--enjoy a primal scream. i often feel i know well who i am but others seem utterly unknowable.
