Hey Dear 🌙🦉 Confused:

It’s normal to have the urge to back off when sensing rejection, especially when you sense rejection from a person you felt so close to.

You and I have this in common: growing up in an environment where closeness was unsafe: couldn’t trust it to extend from one moment to the next, when at any moment, or day, or week it could be reversed, and reversed terribly.

So, as an adult, you expect the same of what you grew up with. Not consciously, but the body remembers even when your mind forgets.
