dying to be in love with someone, yet I cannot let anyone in; I’m touch starved and crave the affection, but I push people away when they want to get closer to me. It’s so weird to push something away that you’ve been wanting for so long.

Letting people in is actually terrifying especially if you didn’t grow up having it modeled in healthy relationships and practicing it so it is very natural to be scared to try it and to let yourself get your hopes up for something that might not turn out the way you’ve been wanting so long 🙃
