The thing is we WANT to connect, we're hard wired for it, but on the same hand it doesn't feel SAFE at all!!!
Yesss! This is why I'm following you . I read some of your posts in the past and I can totally relate.
I realize how hard it is to put myself out there. It doesn't get easier as I get older.
I know I'm okay on my own I do have a lot of things going on aside from work - hobbies and stuff. But damn how I need another soul sometimes... I'm working on changing how I see the world. So I journal and write down 3 positive things that happen to me daily (even this is hard lol) to rewire my brain. The other day I wrote "the supermarket staff talked to me today" - lol I know how pathetic! This is already a big deal for me. A big positive thing that happened to me that day lol.
People are inherently selfish they care until I don't have anything to give to them. So far all the bad things that happened to me was because I was polite, giving and caring. I think I have to start banning these behaviors now lol.
Anyway, thanks for the insight. I'm on it....
