It sucks.
But seriously, where do you draw the line? Because i've been completely vulnerable before. And got burned. And i've been self-reliant and strong before. And became hard.
I don't like either state of being.
So what do you do?
My brain says "Oh, it was nothing. Quit being a baby and get over it." And i really agree. It was an insignificant comment that i just took the wrong way. Say it to anybody else and no harm, no foul. Am i just too thin-skinned? ....But i've been "getting over it" for the last 20 years and look where that got me! I'm a tough little cookie that doesn't know how to be vulnerable or trust the man she loves to actually love her.
I want to be vulnerable. I like being vulnerable. But often, being vulnerable means getting hurt.
Everything in me says to get over it. Okay, sure.
But the thing is: it still hurts.
