Just had a thought about love etc because I was talking about a character in a showI started to watch yesterday so I will put it here (while applying it to myself more).
Maybe love isn't possible because it is a vulnerability but I have learnt I have to keep strong, to keep my heart closed, to not let my emotions show and always be that fortress. I have built a wall around my heart that I still am struggling to break down.
Maybe that is why I can't love. I can't just let my guard down and be safe. I can't expose anything of myself...

@Asuyuia@toot.cat We know we cannot help with this realistically, as these are some complex thoughts you're working through, but we wish to state a thing. Many folx believe that everybody must learn to love themselves and fix themselves before they can love or be loved. The idea that this is universal is false. For some folx, it's what they needed to do. But it doesn't apply to all. Some need others to learn how to love and feel worthy of it. We just wanted to state this, as the belief that this applies absolutely is ubiquitous, and we underhope that this isn't pushed on you.
