They withhold emotions, feelings and their inner most world…
This creates distance and separation. The very thing that keeps one hiding, begins to manifest. Why else would you withhold, other than the fear of rejection, judgement and abandonment?
It’s vulnerable, revealing your secret shames. The places within you that have never felt loved. There’s a quiet scream, “it’s not safe!!”… But when you withhold, the pain only burrows deeper…
When you open yourself up and you reveal rather than withhold, you let the light in. People may judge you… Reject you… Or even abandon you. From my experience though, most grow closer to you… Deeper love and respect arises. We realize this human experience is not so different.
We’re all swimming in the same waters.
What’s your experience with revealing vs with holding?
