What Scares You in Relationships?
Some of us barrel into relationships as if the very fact of being alone could cause severe itching.
Others are skittish, shying away from promising new people or finding ways to engage while subtly keep them at a distance. Ultimately, the skittishness takes a toll (barreling into relationships can wreak havoc too, but that’s for another post).
I’m a strong believer that most of the trouble in relationships is caused by fear: Fear of not being loved, of being taken for granted or taken advantage of, of being “found out” as not worth someone’s time, and the list goes on.
Many years ago when I lived in New York City, I helped a friend execute a brilliant gift idea for her mother’s birthday.
