Dear Name:

Your thinking makes sense to me. Underneath the person, you, who scares people away is a person scared himself. You are scared to be hurt by others like you were hurt so many times before. The times most hurtful to you were when you were hurt as a young child. If you get to see the scared part of you, the hurt part of you, if you look at him, with empathy and understanding (he didn’t get empathy and understanding as a child)- then you will progress, heal and things will come together for you, like a jigsaw puzzle. Please do post, again and again, Name. Here on this forum, with me, you are safe.
