For those who didn't experience love growing up ..

Do you feel that affects how you view love now?

Do you believe you don't deserve it because of the lack of it as a child?😢💗😟

Let me ask you a challenging theoretical question.
You meet someone.
The chemistry is there.
It's undeniable.

Do you accept the person or push them away?

@uncalled4 You have to be able to 'feel' the chemistry and be able to recognise the signals, signs, feelings first and be able to process them without triggering automatic fear and blocking reactions (which would be my problem). I get anxiety attacks if I detect in the slightest any sign of attraction to someone.

@zonavar68 I think I get that. Meeting someone is quite a rush. It's 15+ years ago for me and I still remember it.

@uncalled4 I very well could push them away, feeling they'll eventually see how broken I am. Having several issues doesn't make one feel like a catch unfortunately 😧

@Coralmist We have to get you to accept it. Stay focused and you'll get there.
