I still, to this day, have a TERRIBLE, paralyzing fear of rejection. I am forcing myself to get over that, but it's hard as hell.

I don't know if they every will understand that we can be that for them. I suppose it's possible that to THEM, we may never be, but I cannot concern myself with that possibility right now.




OMG, GH hits the nail on the head. This is the struggle. I think the fear of rejection is SO debilitating, it almost throws the rest of the growth we've made out the window.

I can spend all day thinking of romantic and sexy things to say and do, and when it somes down to taking true action, I don't, if I do, it feels contrived. How do you overcome that fear?
