When you attempt to receive warmth but only got shut down on. That led you to never do it again after that attempt... It just hurts holding everything in but you forced yourself to in order to protect yourself from being hurt again... From the inside you wished for that warmth but you know that its only a dream that won’t happen.
That too! It’s a tik for tak situation. I love the insight though!
People who are hurt emotionally and physically by loved ones most times crave that missing or lack of love. It’s a need for validation that the hurt and pain you went through was for a reason or that once they got it off their chest the love would follow. I can tell you this first hand with being emotionally abuse, it’s easier to say she needs to leave them than actually doing it. You always wonder “maybe if I held on a lil bit longer things would change” or “maybe they’ll come around if I do this” and sometimes you can shut down to them emotionally but still crave their warmth. It’s a hard feeling to explain.
