if theres one thing ive learned abt relationships, its that you should never be open & vulnerable with anyone because theyll inevitably leave you. i think thats a good piece of advice i think
@shagoli im being half-facetious, i realize thats more likely, but my distorted thinking is "if i close myself off there'll be nobody around to leave me & make me sad" smdh :/
@nachobra OHHHH ohhh i see. i took you seriously there because i used to think that way until i got into a big fight with my ex due to conflicting political beliefs that i THOUGHT i could just keep under wraps (since talking about it just made us angry), but that ended up making me even more sad in the end. now we want nothing to do with each other because of how emotionally constipated our relationship was
@nachobra what makes you say that? it's been the opposite way in my experience [that you'll be left if you keep yourself closed-off]
