withholds

To have a chance for real love, you must be transparent. Let the other see you. Let the other know who you are. Let the other be intimidated, judgmental, or whatever. But don’t hide. Don’t attempt to control by withholding. Because that is not love.

When you hide, you don’t love yourself. Hiding is an expression of secretly hating, disliking or disapproving of yourself.

When you hide, you don’t love yourself. When you withhold, you don’t love others.

When you hide, you deny yourself your loving. When you withhold, you deny others your loving.

When you withhold, you limit the flow of loving in both directions.

All withholds are withholds of love.
