Dear people, stop pushing away those that care about you. Stop pulling them in, then kicking them out again. It's not fair to them...or yourself. These people want to be there for you, but there is something keeping you at a distance. Talk to these people...Are you scared about your feelings? Scared you're gonna get too close and they will leave? That they will turn out being like someone else? Whatever the reason, they deserve a chance. You can't be too cautious because you are going to end up pushing them away forever. Give them a chance to prove they aren't like the rest, that they won't leave like the others, that they are genuine. Just take the shot...take the risk. Something great may come from it. Sincerely, One who is has been pushed away, as well as has pushed others away.
