Hi CD,
For me the answer is always (ALWAYS) fear.
Fear of other people wanting to get too close? Fear of being vulnerable and seen...and then abandoned? Fear of not knowing what life would be like if I changed for the better?
Thanks, by the way, for your nice comment on the "Mute" thread. I've read your comments for a while and have thought we have may some "fear of therapy" in common
I hope that's OK to say.
You're not isolated here, CD. Stay awhile...
