A big part of the reason why we have lived in seclusion is because singles either cannot or refuse to understand how we are inside. We have learned through meditation of how to reprogram (for lack of better words) our sentinels or the ones who protect our little ones from the outside world.
If an outsider is to protect us, they would need to gain trust from each of us as a whole, meaning that we are all in agreement, not just one or a few parts in agreement. We too have been hated and misunderstood, knowing that those around us could care less about who we are as we define ourself. Yet even now, we feel safe with no outsiders and refuse to trust them fully because we understand that they are very different creatures than we are. We have just learned to accept them as they are and try to keep our distance from those who may be bad for us. Fadedspirit
