I remember a time when I was 10 years old. My family was bring me back to my hometown from the mental hospital I was in---in Galveston Texas. UTMB? Well something like that. My older sister was in the way back of our mom's Bronco2. Our dad had a van which me, mom and dad had the accident in 1992 but that is another journal prompt. Anyway in the way back of the Bronco2, My sister and I were playing "hand puppet" games and saying "I'm a ghost can't catch me". I was actually talking in a low whisper to my sister. So I guess I had low profile SM at 10 years old. At 5 years old I did shake or nod my head but still would not say anything. Again, I said that was low profile SM---but that was around family. Strangers I can talk to a little bit if I am not looking at them in the eye. That where I am most anxious is where I look people in the eye when I speak to people--it is around certain people and certain situations.
I don't think I ever had high profile SM. I did do non-verbal communication at some point when I needed to communicate somehow. Well let me rethink that. Maybe with my distant aunts, uncles and cousins--the ones who lived far away.
I'm still working on this journal prompt.
