people are filled with risks. There is
no guarantee the other person will
like you. And even if they like you
today, there’s no guarantee about
tomorrow.
From start to finish real
relationships are filled with problems.
For some people, the search
for genuine relationships has been
nothing but frustration. Many of us
are not very good at starting conversations,
connecting to people. We’d
like to skip over these messy bumps
in the road and jump right into the
perfect relationship where everything
goes smoothly.
Real relationships put you in a
place of being vulnerable—and that’s a
fearful place to be. When you try to
reach out to someone, you have no
control over their responses.
You are at their mercy, and some have been
merciless in their rejection of you.
Even if you have made the first
connection in a relationship, and all
seems to be going well, it often
explodes, leaving blood everywhere.
Your blood.
The fear of rejection is like a
tsunami wave that shows up without
any warning—in an instant your
whole world is turned upside down.
All your dreams of a really great
friendship have been dashed against
the rocks.
It’s so much easier to retreat
into the world of fantasy relationships.
They are not complicated. They are
safe. You are in control
