Lonely
All my life growing up, I was told not to show emotion not to get attached and not to let people in. Now I am in my 20s living on my own and feel so alone, I can’t have good relationships because I shut people out, and have a fear of getting attached. I’ve been a caregiver my whole life to my parents And I seek to fix people and every friendship/relationship. I don’t know how to stop this and I wish I could open up to people, but I don’t know how anymore.

hey there💜 i can understand that struggle a lot, a well learned and familiar pattern that is not useful or healthy in your adult life, one you can see and notice but you automatically follow anyways.. it can make you feel very stuck
im glad you can see it tho, and im glad you are working on changing that pattern
i’d say being here and talking about this is in itself a step in learning to open up💜
Which relationships would you say this has most effected in your life?
