Our entire system is in fear of rejection- maybe because a lifetime of rejection might have something to do with it?

This has impeded us from being strong, assertive, confident, calm, at ease, nonchalant,....

We are too needy which shows...needy for acceptance, companionship, being liked, acknowledgement,...which has left us wide open for further abuse.

When will the cycle end? We have an idea...but it's too finite.
