Do you want to get close to someone you like and feel attracted to, but hold back because you feel the need to protect yourself from hurt? Are you so torn between these two needs that you hesitate to make decisions and move on with the relationship? When you hesitate your partner may interpret it as a sign that you aren’t that interested and feel hopeless about the relationship. Your loved one is only able to see the part of you that holds back, while the part of you that craves connection is hidden. The entire relationship becomes strained making your fear about hurt even more likely to occur.
