Dear Tami:

Yes, it makes sense: that you worry about being rejected by people who you are in the position in your life to hurt you, that is someone you care for, someone who likes you. If someone likes you and you feel that warmth of being liked by that someone, then … tell me if it is so: then you become very sensitive to what that person says, being afraid he or she will stop liking you?

I am very familiar with this warm nice feeling when you like someone and he or she likes you back, it feels so good. But then if he or she says something or doesn’t say something just right, I get anxious, worrying that I upset them, that I lost them, that he or she doesn’t like me anymore.

Can you relate to this?

* Good job with your practice of asking your boyfriend for clarification and good boyfriend for clarifying!
