Look In The Mirror

If you’ve had friendships or relationships that have been surface level or lack real meaning — I need you to look in the mirror, because, you may be the reason why.

You may be what I like to call an “Ice Skater”. Don’t worry, I was one too. We Ice Skaters are people who don’t like to get too personal in relationships. Even though, we crave meaningful connections. We don’t tell our business, and we don’t really let people in, or, allow ourselves to be vulnerable. Instead, we skate on the surface and only tell people what we think they need to know. Just enough to keep them around and for the relationship to stay afloat.

This is usually because we’re afraid we’ll be rejected or abandoned at some point. It’s what’s known as an avoidant or fearful-avoidant attachment style.
