(~/-) Conflicted feelings / Unconfirmable trust / Emotional deadlock 

It's really difficult, to *care* about someone, to have them give you what you need & at the same time be afraid that they're just exploiting you, that it's a ruse or for their own personal gain. Afraid of being hurt, mentally or physically. Wanting so bad to just take a leap of faith, to finally know, but being forcefully grounded, unable to jump... & simultaneously being terrified of breaking your legs if you were even able.

@Motodrachen
Aye, it's really tough. Part of the problem here is also the inability to act, so even if you want to trust and want to risk taking that step, you just can't. Trust has always been difficult for me, but lately I've found that being unable to make that choice is even worse than having trouble making it in the first place.
