It can feel safer to doubt than to risk believing. Especially when you’ve been hurt, let down, or made to feel unimportant before.
What to notice:

- Feelings that come up when someone shows me care or affection.
- Thoughts that try to protect me from getting hurt.
- How I respond when someone tries to get close.
