My fears have pretty much been summed up by earlier posts. Fear of rejection, that I won't be able to explain it right (that I'll do it wrong), that they will be disgusted with me, that they won't want to be around me any more, that I will be "shunned". I don't want to risk being hurt. The fear of the unknown reaction that they might have. Fear that my feelings are stupid, dumb, crazy, etc...
I have a problem opening up to my husband of 26 years because of those fears. Fear that his rejection can hurt me.
I still have a problem with it in therapy, but I'm really making more of an effort now to work on it.
