LikeCharlotte Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 I think I might have some abandoment issues myself, always looking for friends or lovers who seem lonely, vulnerable, yet for whatever reason I end up meeting really strong emotionally healthy people.. I'm scared to even call them. I don't like being the one to call, or initiate, because I feel like I can't handle taking on the roll of the shot-caller. I want to be led, to be the sidekick. When someone gives me their number, I say cool.. here's mine, call me sometime. I know I won't call first. A weird thing is when people call me, I'm fine. But when I call, I get all anxious. Sometimes I have to go through hours to prep myself just to call someone, like get dressed, drive around, to a store and talk to the cashier or something. It's insane.Scary things become less intimidating with exposure. It will be hard at first but you will get more comfortable if you try. You may feel nervous but its unlikely that anyone but you will know you are nervous. Give it a try!
