Confession Of The Day

B

I stole this from another thread. 

Is there anything you feel rather ashamed of having done or not done etc?

Mine is:

I have started but not finished The Remains of the Day, Never Let Me Go and Klara and the Sun (Kazuo Ishiguro books).

and many other 'worthy' novels. 

Anguished

I do have greater sins I might share at a later date.

  • When I was in my first school placement as a student teacher, my mentor and Head of Department reviewed my work at the end of each week. A few weeks in he stated, “We’re a good team”. I was so shocked at his comment I responded, “Really?” The critical frown on my mentor’s face told me I had made a fatal error. I was mortified and still am.

    I wonder whether our tendency to feel these experiences so deeply and recall them so vividly is an autistic trait.

    I suspect that's true. I still recall one incident when I was nine, when I was humiliated before the entire school for something I hadn't done. I still have no understanding what I'd said that the housemistress had misconstrued..
