How do I stop being scared and stop pushing people away?

[Devilmaycryy]

I end up getting so scared of love and attachment, if someone comes on strong or is too fast, I'll say im terrible/talk down about myself or push them away. What do I do? I don't really want to do this deep down. I really do want to be seen, understood, and loved by somebody. I just knee jerk react. 😿 I'm not sure where to start.

Just be yourself my dear. Dont be afraid. It's just communication. Don't be a silly little girl, show them your true nature. Don't be a kitten, a leopard cub. Be the Leopard. Put everything on the line and claim whoever you want as yours.

PS: if a douche would want you to change something about you for them, tell them to F-off and kick their sorry asses then move on. DONT CHANGE YOURSELF FOR SOMEONE. YOU'RE YOU & ONLY YOU!

Think twice of what you say, maybe if you can detect what would rub off wrong on someone then maybe filter it a bit, and try seeing the positive things in life and maybe it will change your point of view of things

Maybe seek some counselling to find out the root of this fear?

When I find out, I'll let you know.
