I’ve heard variations on this basic story in men’s spaces online so, so many times. He made the classic mistake of opening up about his fears and vulnerabilities.
If you open up to someone and they get weirded out this bad, they probably weren’t worth having in your life anyway, or at least aren’t right now.
Granted, if you have actual past trauma, you should work on it with a therapist instead of your partner. And if your partner hasn’t gone through something similar and can’t relate at all, you shouldn’t go into great detail about it. I disclose what the general trauma was about and leave it at that.
Fuck all that “Gary Cooper” John Wayne build walls bullshit.
which is precisely why everyone is staying single. they are disgusted by each other’s vulnerability and humanity.
and people do not work on their trauma, they expect their partner to fix it for them. and they think you’re an asshole if you don’t make them magically happy and make up for all the shit their daddy/mommy didn’t do for them. and they are totally clueless to the concept that… they can do that for themselves! they are no longer helpless children!
