| Topic: Afraid to open up | |
|---|---|
Have you ever been afraid to open up to someone that likes you because you were worried that they would be disapointed once they got to know you better? How does someone deal with that?

No cause if they can't handle the truth about me then there is no use trying to live with a lie. That to me would be worse.

It is the fear of rejection. It sucks when someone doesn't like you. But.....you keep moving on.

No, I will talk to anyone. About anything. I was like that until about a month ago. But now Im having trouble forming a connection because Im afraid that I will be disappointing.

If they already like me, then opening up is only going to increase that. And then they're going to want to move in, and I suddenly have to come down with a case of something disturbing, like Asparagus Pop-Tarts. |

Not really fear of rejection ,more like a fear of disappointing. I know, its weird but thats what im feeling.

I'm not afraid to open up but somethings about myself I do keep in reserve until I get to know someone better.

Disappointed, no.. worried that they wouldn't have the same interest in me, yes. I can only be myself and well, if they don't like that, then they aren't for me. I will never try to portray someone I'm not. ::shrug::

You cant let fear rule who you are. If they are disapointed after learning more about you they are not worthy. You and everyone on here deserves someone that is excepting of them, just the way they are. |

Yep. Just be yourself. And try not to worry about it. It they don't like your odd quirks, then they probably won't like you. Might as well let them know early on.

Thanks for the advice Moondark I dont really think I have any odd quirks, I'm just afraid I won't be able to live up to their expectations of me. More araid of letting someone down than being rejected.
