Otherwise, they are torturous. Part of it is that I’m introverted, but the other part is CEN – which I’m very glad to finally have a name for at age 59. I’ve spent my entire life feeling like something was wrong with me and people don’t like me. So tired.

Hi Mark, it’s a difficult concept but so worthwhile. A while ago, I read somewhere this little fact that has helped me be more me and open- It’s none of my business what other people think. Take care. Sylvia

I am the youngest of 6 and I always felt unseen and not heard. Overlooked and always treated like the baby. When I have to attend meetings at work, I sit way in the back and end up daydreaming and anxiously counting the minutes to when it’s time to leave. I try everything to avoid gatherings but when I do go I have a few drinks to loosen up or dress really nice so I don’t feel self conscious being around a group of people. Your guidance is going to help me so much. Currently reading your book Running on Empty. Thank you Dr. Webb.

Have suffered with these feelings all of my life-now 66 years old. I did realize the cause was within me… not the crowd, but never realized the cause was related to CEN. Thanks for this enlightenment!

I had no understanding of why I have all of these feelings in a group situation. It all makes so much sense now! Thank you!

I have essentially all of the symptoms of CEN now at 20 years old, but I’m thinking I might have C-PTSD.

Nonetheless, these articles have been helping me get in touch with my emotions and accept myself. I feel like I’ve been a stranger in my body all this time if that makes sense.

I’m really glad I have found you and the website, thank you for all of this.

Dear Deb, it’s a matter of going through the CEN healing steps. You can start with the book Running On Empty and/or the Fuel Up For Life Program to guide you through it. You can do it.
