Unable to feel safe with others, my attempts to connect at some point always failed.
I used to push past my fear: to force myself to be social, but others – making me feel unsafe – I try to overpower or with bravado put them on a back foot – trying to make them feel unsafe…
When someone is loving they make others feel loving.
When someone is angry they make others feel angry.
When someone is scared they make others feel scared.
I can’t connect before I feel safe.
Safety first.
