    <div>I don’t blame you – I would NOT want family coming to a pole performance lol. Only if it were not remotely sexual, but even so, they’d prob watch other performances that were and I would feel second-hand cringe. I’ve realized that it doesn’t really matter WHY I feel the way I do – I just do. I just wouldn’t want them there, and that’s that. I don’t need an explanation for it. You don’t have to prove anything to them or even yourself – if you’re uncomfortable with certain people being there, don’t invite them. As time goes on, your feelings may change, but, for right now – they are what they are! One of the most helpful things I ever learned in therapy was to “accept that I can’t accept” – literally, accept that I’m just not able to accept something as it is. It sounds strange but accepting that can’t accept something yet is helpful in just “letting it be”.</div>

    I hope that, whatever you choose, your performance is stellar and you have fun while you’re there 🙂 That’s what’s most important.
