Are you opening up to connect… Or to be rescued?

I don't think any man is ever gonna want me for my emotions. My emotions are something that I would always have to downplay, because no man is gonna want to deal with my emotions.

I think that emotional depth you have is like a superpower. Men will and do love you for emotions. The challenge is you finding the boundaries around your emotions. If I'm feeling really, really sad and disconnected and insecure and comfortable, and I'm making it your job to make that those parts of me feel better, that's bad. Boundaries. If you just sort of spill out all this without containment, everything you're thinking and feeling, that's a lot of energy. One thing about human beings is that when they hear accusations, right and wrong, pungent reward criticisms, they just start to defend themselves, and you can't connect. But we can communicate our feeling reality without making accusations and criticisms.
