Perhaps its not so much "fear" as actually thinking that someone is invested into getting to know them with the same effort? Not sure how inclined I'd be to take someone "seriously" if I found they were speaking with a whole bunch of other people. It doesn't imply a huge amount of interest in oneself.
Oh the pink one is in my imagination at this point, alas I did request one for last Christmas - alas I'm still without it at this point. Guess he's a smart man!! :)
Victimized? sadly yes, but when someone can't let go it tells me that they are not in a healthy state of mind. Rejection I have certainly experienced as well, but one learns to move forward.
I went through a stage where I really didn't want a tattoo ..... then when I turned 40 wanted one, went into a tattoo parlor last year and walked out without one ...... having had the odd 7 years to mull it over, I'm now at the stage where I'm fine without having one. Perhaps if I found an amazing artist I might indulge but truthfully I've only ever seen a few tattoos which I thought were amazing. I'm at the point where I like my skin just the way it is.
Yes, it doesn't bother me in the least - frankly most times its been the most successful connections that I've encountered and those that I've met in person haven't been hideous - far from it in fact.
Interesting thread Niko and I think that once the dust settles its easier to get a clearer picture of ourselves and our own emotions.
I feel that in one relationship I still in fact love even after all these years, but sometimes I wonder if I am allowing myself to simply love that person in my memories. Not having contact now doesn't mean that I don't think of them - sometimes its just confusing.
Well then instead of just "observing" why not participate and give your own thoughts? With less than 10 posts to your credit, it seems slighty biased to be critical of what others are doing or not doing in your estimation.
I see many questions answered, and as to the threads evolving into something else, are most conversations like that? One thought leads to another?
As for the truth and what people handle or speak - we are only responsible for ourselves - so that's truly the only person that you need to concern yourself with. Each person's truth may be different based on their experiences and thoughts, so perhaps its also about opening one's mind to another's experiences/thoughts and taking what is valuable from what they've shared.
Yes it can indeed get expensive, so then it comes down to narrowing the area that you are looking in. I was referring to Kaybee though as she's obviously keen on someone far away ........ sometimes we do need to take a chance on love and simply go for it. I guess it all depends on what commitments one has and what one is willing to give up in order to pursue love.
I'm sometimes a mixture ..... I think sometimes the loneliest times I've experienced have been when I wasn't alone. I try not to think too much about it, but just acknowledge it and move on.
Being content in simply just being us, whether we have someone in our life or not is key ............ our happiness and well being isn't contingent on whether we are a partner to someone. We each stand alone in this life, sometimes we have others who walk beside us on the path of life.
Meaning that if someone didn't mention their name here, that they may be disappointed .... didn't think it was that hard to understand. I think we can be attracted to many here for various reasons.
