It’s not shyness

I confess that I’m tempted. But I’m not responding because I’m too shy. I’m not responding because I’ve gone into protective mode. For too long I put myself into situations that were almost guaranteed to cause me harm, and after so much pain and suffering I’m finally protecting myself. But oh yeah, I’m tempted. For now I’m staying right where I am, safe in my little hideaway, until I’ve healed enough to want to face the world again.

I'm not those people.
I'm nice, warm, friendly and I want to kiss those amazing lips so badly.

Stay in hermit mode for as long as you need to. You’ll know when it’s time to emerge.

I probably won't be here when you get out.

That can go on for much longer than you'd like.

It really depends

Do you need to do that for the actual safety and ethical outcomes of yourself and the one you Love most? Or, will it erode and eventually result in a real-life irreversible tragic outcome for the one you love, yourself, or both?

Or am I wrong?
