Loving Limits

1 min readJul 21, 2026

I feel like I’ve reached my limit when it comes to allowing someone into my life.

Im ready to have someone I can grow with. Someone I can build a life with. But letting someone in and allowing myself to feel safe with them is something I can’t seem to do.

I warm up to someone. I start to care about them. And eventually, I begin trying to make them not want to be around me anymore. I create distance. I push them away. I find reasons to make them leave.

But deep down, I like them.

Maybe that’s the hardest part.

I’ve reached a point where I would rather be alone than risk letting someone get close enough to hurt me. I don’t think I’ll meet a guy who is willing to be patient with me patient with my mind, my moods, my tendency to pull away when I actually want someone to stay.

I want to be loved.

I just don’t know how to let someone love me
