There's no way to sugar coat it... at the heart of #thestrongone is trust issues.
Whether you can admit it or not, your self talk probably all boils down to some version of...
people can't be trusted.
For some of us,
*we can't trust others to help themselves
*we can't trust others for simple tasks (for themselves or for us)
*we can't trust others for deep or complex tasks (for themselves or for us)
*we can't trust them with our heart, vision or dreams (to share with)
*we can't trust someone else to support us in our vision or dreams
ultimately, we can't trust being seen and/or known and/or we are fearful of being let down or rejected.
I know, you may be saying, that's not me. I just like being helpful. Well...if your helping overextends the point where you "end" and the other person begins, ie you are trying to do FOR them, what only they have control over...then, you don't trust them with their own journey.
So this week...as it relates to your relationships and how you connect. It is time for self check.
Are you that person who trusts no one, ever for anything? If the answer is yes, maybe and probably... 😅then you are a strong one and my next question is why?
*Have you been hurt (past relationship)?
*Have you experienced some other trauma?
*Are you afraid of being rejected?
You will want to take these responses and explore more deeply with a professional.
