PSQ: Am I failing a test, then?

Are you ever walking or driving along, minding your own business, and you suddenly feel vulnerable and exposed -- like your heart is right out there for everyone to see and you don't know how to stop it?

And like it's just been scratched by something abrasive, like someone trying to remove gum from the bottom of their shoe by scraping it against a curb edge?

Like you wish your friends were around like stuffed animals to comfort you, even if you've just seen them, or even if they are there?

It's a little bit like falling in love, right, but fearful -- much more fearful. Maybe it's more like failing a test.

What do you do about that feeling, and does it always make you want to run away, too?

Usually, which is why I requested a mix.
