I am the same... I'll try again. I'll try to put it behind me. Try to pretend the hurt really didn't happen. But I never forget. It's always there even as I try. I think that's the one thing I find hard to forgive. The hurt it caused, the way it made me feel.
Maybe I hold on because I'm afraid if I say something or make a fuss, I won't like the outcome. I hate confrontation, except when it comes to my friends.
I'm learning, though. One Dom friend, non-sexual, once asked me what I wanted most to learn, where I wanted to grow. I've never forgotten that. He was going to help me get "xyz" - and he really worked hard, nurturing me, encouraging me. Making me practice my 'f*** you' voice to build me back up after my divorce.
Right now, when I don't like something or I'm disappointed, I know I can say something. I know that I don't need to fear he'll fly into a rage or walk away. That thing that may seem so simple means the world to me and does more to help me believe, love, adore than anything. It makes me feel like I'm healing.

I'm turtley today.
Did a lot of heavy sharing yesterday and I'm feeling burnt out. Especially because I have no partner to go to as 'home base,' to rest and recharge. All of the people i would want to go to are incommunicado - with me, anyway. And that makes Lit an uncomfortable place to be. It's a weird feeling, not having anyone to go to, I feel... unanchored, adrift. I don't like it.
So anyway. Thought I should check in somewhere.
This is why I love you, BFG
It's good to check in and let us know how you're feeling. There may be more that we can help you with than you think! Sometimes, just keeping someone company is enough to get is through days when we just want to turtle or curl up.
Because I babble?
Honey: If you ever need to talk, my door is always open.
BFG: because you make me want to be a better person, too

I can relate so strongly to the bolded part especially.As far as rules and boundaries:
It holds true for me. Though I also tend to push on occasion to be sure he'll push back.
As far as "never forget"
This does not hold true for me. I have the opposite problem. Oh have a hard time getting mad and expressing mad. I have a hard time believing I have a genuine cause to be mad. I tend to blame me. Then I gave a hard time holding on to the useful righteous anger. I am too forgiving. It can be a problem because in an effort to give people the benefit of the doubt I tend to repetitively set myself up for disappointment.
( this makes current issue so ironic. I'm actually trying to learn to be reasonably NO about something and because no one knows that issue of mine they are saying nahhhhhhg just a person moment nahhhhhh you're being too hard... :/ the people who know me ate saying omg seriously you finally understand get mad so now just ... walk.....away.... it is ok to walk .... away....)
Yes. So much yes.I am the same... I'll try again. I'll try to put it behind me. Try to pretend the hurt really didn't happen. But I never forget. It's always there even as I try. I think that's the one thing I find hard to forgive. The hurt it caused, the way it made me feel.

*hugs*Abandonment is a huge issue for me. Huge.
I'll be back to contribute when my brain isn't running in seventeen different directions at once.
Love you girls.
This is usually what I feel causes it, I let someone in, let them close enough to see what a mess I am and then they run.
*hugs*
I have massive abandonment issues. It's something that I find myself trying to reconcile. If I care about someone then I just assume that they will leave.
Every time.

I'm sure that I've overshared. I tend to do that on this thread, but I can relate to so much of what is said.
My inbox is always open if anyone needs a shoulder. <3
Changed my mind.
Oh ugh I described myself the other day as a potential flight risk. The description is accurate.Hey tink,
Not overshare. Definitely not. I think most of us have abandonment issues * side eye at my thread* but we will get through it.

Do you ever find yourself a runner? What prompts it? Is it valid and real or a defense mechanism? Is it useful? Did you ever work through it? How? I feel like when I start to really connect with someone some part of me clicks on and panics and pushes him away. I think I do it to see if he will walk... if he will take the excuse and say "not worth it" or if he will hang on and push through it. ....
I know I'm messed up. It isn't an intentional mind game... at the time it feels very very real.
Thoughts?
So do you think it's a chick thing? An I've been hurt thing? Or a little thing?
Kinda a combo in my opinion.So do you think it's a chick thing? An I've been hurt thing? Or a little thing?
The middle one.

Who was the first edition of Daddy's little girl and what happened to her?
oo i like this, i'm asking daddy to have a look at this, this will make a lot of sense to him. Mind you he reads my posts so I might not need to ask, but I will
