Why are people afraid of honesty?
Why do you feel after opening up to someone— saying things about yourself, your life—that you have to run away and hide from them? Is it fear of being hurt? Or that they may want something you can’t give them?
What’s so scary about really connecting with someone? I know we wall want that. I do. When you find someone you can talk to, why back off from that?
Okay, not “someone”. I mean me. And you. You know who you are. I won't embarrass you by mentioning your name.
I’m not going to hurt you. I though we’d started to established a real connection, I’m not gonna suddenly turn into an asshole. Do you think that? Or if you're afraid of “what might happen” ...well, doesn’t that suggest there may be something there worth happening?
I don’t like this. I didn’t like it a year ago when something similar happened. That person blamed it on Jesus—she shouldn’t’ve talked that way, that openly, because she was a Christian—which made me REALLY angry, coming out of a infuriating Baptist university experience. At least this time it’s not that mess. It’s just good old fashioned fear.
I'm sorry.
