Zues, what you have written sounds like the cycle I am in.
My IC says that once I got on that treadmill, I was too scared to get off for fear of abandonment and rejection. Self love is such an easy concept but one that most of us find hard to do.
I have to love myself fully, before I can love others and others love me for WHO I AM and give me full acceptance. I was too scared to show whom I am before because of my rejection/ abandonment issues. I am still working towards these.
I am not afraid of being alone, I am afraid of being left alone/ abandoned, if you know what I mean.
