Lack of courage

[Skydreamer42]

I'm not courageous enough to get my points across and communicate with people. I feel so guilty for the relationships I have allowed to decay through my ignorance, through my apathy, through my fear and anxiety. I'm not willing to risk failure or disappointment. I'm not willing to risk hardship in terms of a relationship, platonic or otherwise, because I am so easily overwhelmed.

Relationshipsshouldn't be difficult, we are all human beings. No one is perfect, we actually need each other. The world is filled with a bazillion people. We should all just get along, remember that line, if not, doesn't matter. It's just a true statement. Too many judge, expect something, want more, want less, want, want, want. None of us are perfect, we should all just get along

I know what you mean, I just lost a close friend because I never spoke my mind, got walked over and taken for granted. He lost respect for me until our friendship eventually meant nothing to him

Fear is crippling..... and some of us are so fragile we risk isolation rather than being hurt. I hope some day you realize your not alone, many others like you don't have to blame yourself for who you are. Many factors mold us into who we are today, eventually you will become who you want to be and change that which your not happy with. But first forgive yourself, we all have fear and short comings, but they don't have to define us.

Hello Skydreamer42,

I can identify with you and understand your personality. I don’t think it luck of courage. Its being extra cautious to risk anything. Its guarding your life and heart so people don’t take advantage of you and leave you empty. True love should cast away all fears and make you comfortable to be around the people who might have left you. Well as long as there is life there is an opportunity to try again. Yesterday is not yours to recover even if you try so hard. What you have is today, so you can try and make new friends or reach out to the old friends. You can start by sending a message that ‘was just checking on you today. Have a wonderful day”. Just make good friends and you may never know what it will lead to. There are good and caring people out there. Wishing you all the best. Have a wonderful weekend.
