Being Guarded Hurts Your Relationship | Stephan Speaks

Let'S say you're a woman or a man and you were hurt in your last relationship and now you've become guarded. Now, to you, you're still operating as a loving human being but what you don't realize is your guardedness is still hurting either the potential partner or someone that you do get with. Because you're unwilling to give them your whole heart. So, you still hurt. You're not attacking them, maybe you're not punching them or cheating on them but you're holding back. Exactly, and you're still undermining the relationship. So, you're still hurting them and you're hurting yourself because you're not allowing yourself to experience the full greatness of it because you won't fully dive in because you're scared and you're guarded and that has to be fixed.
