Our fear isn’t that we show too much of ourselves, it’s that no one will truly know who we are.
The fear of disconnection and loneliness can drive many to divulge too much too soon. It can make us desire intimacy before a relationship is ready. Or it can isolate us further.
But the key isn’t to focus completely on others to fill our emptiness. To build and attract trusting relationships it’s important to first look inside ourselves. This means asking if we’re trustworthy. Are we self-critical, judgmental and unforgiving? Do we share too much? How are we doing with self-care?
