Stop Running From Love — You’re Worthy of It
When you put up walls and keep your feelings bottled up, those emotions don’t disappear — they come back, usually louder and messier than before. And when you push people away, even the ones who genuinely care, eventually they’ll walk. Not because they didn’t love you, but because they’ve learned to love themselves more.
Sometimes, without even realizing it, you’re testing people — seeing if they’ll stay, if they really love you. Most of the time, they do. But someone who’s done the inner work, someone who’s healed their wounded inner child, isn’t going to stick around in a dynamic that feels like self-abandonment. And that’s okay. It doesn’t mean you’re unlovable. It means they chose themselves — and that’s something you’ll learn to do, too.
When you begin to do your own healing, you’ll stop pushing love away. You won’t be so quick to run from it out of fear that it will hurt or abandon you. You’ll stop acting out in ways that create exactly the thing you fear — rejection, disconnection, abandonment — because to keep repeating those patterns is to abandon yourself.
All of it — the walls, the shutdowns, the overreactions — it’s trauma. It’s basic behavioral psychology. And it can be healed. But you have to want to do the work. You have to want to feel better, be better, and love better.
You are worthy of love. But you have to start believing it — and living like it. Start treating yourself and talking to yourself like you would someone you deeply love.
Avoidant attachment, anxious attachment — these aren’t life sentences. They’re wounds. And wounds can be healed — but not by someone else. That work is yours.
You’ve got this,
