But imo its bc u like them that u stay away. If u didn't care then u can talk to them normally bc like the fact that u care is what triggers it

Yes im trying to not perfect any kind of image with this man. im trying to be exactly like myself to not have to maintain any expectations because thats where i start to want to avoid. Im doing good im responding to him though which im proud of. Im not waiting a full 24 hours like i used to 😍

Interesting tho, for me it's like i have it deeplu ingrained in my brain that people will make fun of me or get annoyed if i tell them i care so i just clam up. Different for everyone

Im afraid that he might actually be interested and then i will have to act like myself and not keep secrets and stuff. Like im just waiting for him to lose interest and its confusing me and id rather detach myself from the feeling of rejection than have someone like me. Im scared of rejection and heartbreak mostly

U don't understand how deeply i get u. I feel the exact same and it's the worst bc like. I KNOW in my head that im the reason ive never been in a relationship bc i don't let people in. But i still can't let anyone in its too scary😂
