Is it fear of the emotions or fear of being vulnerable to others? I keep it all in cuz I don't trust ppl and I don't want others to have anything on me. I refuse to be seen as weak or vulnerable. I feel that when others know what I need or want they use it against me. Thats what my parents did. I'm very self sufficient and it seperate me from other ppl. I refuse to acknowledge needing anything from any one.
