I've kept a great deal of distance between myself and others for the better part of a decade while I tried to un-tie these knots in my psyche. I'm covert, insecure with an overactive sense of cognitive & compassionate empathy. (I had to fight very hard to unlock that in myself. It's messy but I'm kinda proud of it all the same tbh)

I still have a long way to go lol but at this point I won't be able to grow healthily without *allowing* myself to form bonds and relationships with others. Tbh life has grown bland without them.

I ask for your stories. Partners, friendships, etc. Where did you find that genuine mutual connection? And, how has it played out.
