So do you self-protect? Are you afraid of falling in love, of being hurt, so you keep yourself in 'walls up mode' ??


I really never do that and this time around I have put up a wall, not that it will stay up. It's just what I need to do for me right now, it's to easy to fall for the wrong person and putting yourself through the headaches. The funny thing about that is most of us see it happening and do it anyway....


So at this point I wouldn't want anyone to get that close to me and I will put that out to whom I ever my talk to. I think a lot of this is and this is just my opinion. Some women try to make you fall for them as fast as you can and will push for it and i'm the type that will put you in your spot if your to pushy, but in a gental way. It takes time to really get to know me and when I find that one. She will know all of me and I will not hold back what so ever.

It's scary to think that I might never again get that point where I would not hold back!

When you been through enough in life to realize that most are not real with themselves and being on the net. it is really not that had to hold back. To many people have know idea on who they really are inside and know how to express that. I for one do and never had any problem with it. it's just knowing if i'm going to let myself go and open up to that person. I want to know if they can actually handle what i have to offer. I'm more then most women can handle and thats not like you think it is. It's that I give of myself in a way that scares women that don't know how to except the realness in me.

I can't say that I disagree,,but will say, what has helped me with the walls, is finding me. That's what I "put out" there. and a funny things happens. I don't need the wall anymore, because once I come from my core, its a hell of a lot easier to see others who don't.

From my expereince, holding back, only lets the ones who "can't handle me" think they can

Peace

I think I was useing the wall expression because of the topic. I agree with knowing yourself and it's is and has been a better way. If I really think about it. If I had the wall up, i wouldnt be able to be who I am today. Thanks

When I get the life jacket thing worked out I'll buzz ya and ya, I tend to give my all too ... *sigh*

"You have to feel the pain to get to the joy"

And as another old saying goes:

"Non ci sono rose senza spine"

....there are no roses without thorns.

I was watching "Something's Gotta Give" the other day ..

Diane Keaton falls in love with Jack Nicholson. But he won't commit. They split. She cries & cries & cries At her computer, on her bed, in the shower. Well you get the idea....

Then her daughter comes over, sees the mom crying and asks her what's wrong.

Diane says "I'm in love" and the daughter says "I told you to self-protect"

Diane comes back with "You don't really buy the stuff you say do you? You can't outsmart being hurt"

Daughter says "I think it's worth trying"

"You can't hide from love for the rest of your life because maybe it won't work out ... because maybe you'll become unglued. It's just not a way to live."

ie .. falling in love may hurt but it's a fantastic feeling to BE in love ..

Then she asks her daughter "I just have to ask you .. what in the WORLD are you waiting for?"


So do you self-protect? Are you afraid of falling in love, of being hurt, so you keep yourself in 'walls up mode' ??
