When you peel away the layers (like an onion) till you get to the core and examine what´s there, it usually voids its power.
The power of fear is the not knowing exactly what it´s made of, what nourishes it. Being phylosophical about what you can do about it, change, accept, integrate, dis-arm, void...

olaix: resist you? Obviously not, because you're not interested in forcing yourself on others.
But - do you want a man or a woman who want you? to want you, because you fit or approximate to their shopping list over the qualities necessary or adequate of being a man or a woman in their eyes. But are you their shopping list? is that even possible? if not, will not that relationship as well become a relationship with resistance?
Will you ever see the truth in a relationship with resistance? Can there be any real honesty without the truth? or relationship without honesty? trust without honesty? I am talking about trust, not thrust, that we can all do a Friday night, even at the toilet in the pub
hiya olaix
here we go..... i want trust and thrust... and the honesty, i want it all...
i think when one is in the right relationship, there is honesty that builds trust and the willingness to face fears...alone and together. trusting oneself and the other person, to work through those fears. both folks facing their fears, in a safe environment of kindness rather than rightness.
not necessarily easy..but doable with commitment on the part of both. there needs to be a lot of things in place, trust being just one of them, forgiveness another... (yup..there's a list...grin)

Hey Jono :)
Well, I'm new here too, just 32 years in June. Trying to get from preschool to first grade how you doing?
Also, how about resistance to suffering? loneliness seems like a kind suffering to me, even if its no problem to live and deal with - however, staring at it does not prevent it from coming back, does it? did you have success with your method?
