What you may have learned
No. 13 · Being truly knownThe WitnessYou may have learned that real vulnerability is too exposing to risk, that connection is something you learn to perform convincingly, and that being seen mid struggle, not just loved in hindsight once it's resolved, is too much to ask for.→No. 26 · Trust in other peopleThe BridgeYou may have learned that people let you down eventually, so the safest thing is to need them as little as possible.→No. 33 · People-pleasingThe ChameleonYou may have learned that keeping everyone comfortable is who you are, and that conflict means you've failed at being good.→No. 34 · Comparison and jealousyThe RivalYou may have learned that someone else is always doing it better, faster, with less effort, and that in love this looks the same way, someone else always a threat to what you have, real or imagined. It might start the next time the comparison flares, by asking what exactly you think they have, and whether you actually want it. Comparison, at work or in love, only ever shows you the outside of someone else's story next to the inside of your own.→No. 41 · Touch and physical affectionThe EmbraceYou may have learned that needing physical closeness is a weakness, or something to grow out of, or something only certain people are allowed to want.→
