The years have made you strong, but it’s time to lower your protective shield and reveal the true you.
Your toughened exterior is concealing your vulnerabilities and protecting you from further heartache. Emotional scars from your past have made you hesitant, stand-offish, and untrusting.
Your defense mechanisms have become a default layer of your personality, keeping people at a safe distance. However, your untrusting attitude is attracting people who deserve not to be trusted. If you want supportive and reliable relationships, you must lower your defenses and look beyond your trust issues. Stop sabotaging your relationships before they begin.
