Certain thought patterns, certain self-limiting beliefs, etc. We all have our hurdles. At least you have recognized yours! Now the fun begins of jumping it. I know you can.

I was recently told, by a guy i went to high school with (who was hitting on me 35 years too late), that I was "intimidating and hard to approach!" It hurt my feelings for a minute, but then I realized I had been told about the same thing by other guys in the past and it kinda made sense and when I was done crying that I had run off all the ones I wanted cuz I was so intimidating, I wondered if that had always been my real problem...i have always had guy friends, but I've never been the flirty, girly, bat my eye lashes kinda damsel...and maybe that is just a defense mechanism to keep from letting them get close enough to hurt me? Sadly, it has worked, and NO one has EVERY really broken my heart (other than those unrequited loves that married other girls and turned out to be GAY!). Falling for guys who live far away has been my problem too...I know I am the one in control of it too.<br /><br />Hang in there Diane. The right one is out there...and if he isn't, you don't need him....that's what I keep telling myself, anyway.....SSPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01358246374080080885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422526707436212403.post-31184890032952314462013-08-14T21:43:45.370-04:002013-08-14T21:43:45.370-04:00This is a very interesting post about self discove...This is a very interesting post about self discovery. I too seem to choose men who are unattainable and some of the men I have chosen have completely surprised me. There have only been two, one who was completely wrong for me, I can see that now, though I was very hurt at the time. There was no relationship, he was just an acquaintance whom I was drawn to.<br />The other drifts in and out of my life, not my real life, my blogging life. Over the years I have become very fond of him, he is a gentleman, we share many interests, he is someone I would love to meet but I know that will never happen. He does not see me as a romantic interest only as a friend. I am so happy when he is around but when he leaves it makes me very sad. I never know when he will return.<br />I have been on my own now for such a long time, I don't know how I would cope with a real relationship and intimacy. I am quite comfortable in my own skin though loneliness haunts me sometimes.<br />Good luck on your journey and definitely write more poetry.<br />xoxoxo ♡diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06171808338793139579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422526707436212403.post-3932271622371298212013-08-13T21:44:26.332-04:002013-08-13T21:44:26.332-04:00Self discovery can be an interesting if alarming t...Self discovery can be an interesting if alarming thing. It challenges the meaning of 'blame' 'guilt' and 'boundaries'.<br />I have been on that path since about 2005/6 when i first started blogging. Having a defining subject such as relationships will help but it will also take you places you just don't want to be.<br />To be truly comfortable in our skin takes practice but is attainable.
