Dear Anita,
I love my sister. But sometimes she misunderstoods me.
She portraits me as somebody who: is too emotional; can’t handle criticism; childish.
Sometimes she makes funny of me or criticezes me in front of others we know – not always.
I don’t have a problem with laughing about ourselves. I do think i have a sense of humour.
But she does it in a way that “puts me in a shell”.
I try to behave in a good, passive way – when not at home; in the presence of some people.

I think i fear showing romantic intimacy.
Maybe it is because i’ve never encounter somebody – at a right time – to be ready for that.
That’s why i feel like i’m still a teenager.

Thanks,

Maria
