Dear  Dee:

You are welcome. I think your capable part is as authentic as your “darker more fragile” part oy you. Both are you and lots more. If there is no one in your life that allows you to express the darker more fragile part at all, that is, if you don’t have opportunities to express this part to others, in moderation and responsibly (that is in ways that people can handle, without threats of violence, for example), then it is not a good thing.

You are welcome to express any part of you right here, if it helps (if you try and find it helpful). I will read attentively and respond to you every time I am on the computer (has been daily for a few years now).
