so i find it very easy to physically connect with someone, often a really close friend, making an odd friends with benefits kind of situation. a large part of me wishes for a real relationship but i mostly shy away from showing or acknowledging any feelings for people. this hasn't caused issues up until recently, and i've been a complete *** and i've hurt a lot of people close to me.
how do i reconcile these two completely split parts of myself? i mean, i know the fear of a relationship is pretty normal, but how do i overcome that to be happy? any tips? thanks! |

It's more complicated than this but simplified it's:
1. Remembering/realizing that the happiness outweighs the fear. 2. That fear will tear down a relationship anyways so it's unnecessary. |

Just read your other post, in other mental health discussions without yet replying. The term relationship does often weigh like a lead balloon. In reality, 'relationship' can oft mean exclusivity. Sometimes taking things day to day helps. Or even moment to moment. No need to become enmeshed quickly. In all reality, it's the physical intimacy that's been added to the friendship foundation. And it's kinda nice to understand that aspect is exclusive.
