Just a guess impala,,,it is all I can do. But if I can empathise a bit with your feelings,,,and I have been in similar circumstances,,,it was always a fear that MY expectations would not be realized.

When I frame anything with a set of expectations that depend upon my visualizing a sense of control upon anothers responses,,I face the danger of dissappointment. We all our commanders of our own ships and perceive the sea in our own ways..

The solution for me once I realized my fear was an illusion created to support my expectations was simply to remove them...

I understood that I am a good person offering a good thing,,if one doesn't want it, realize it or even consider it,,then that's OK,,I tried to offer a piece of me without prejudice.

Fear cripples us from the joy of living with all it's gains and losses..

IMHO.
