I wonder why too much love can be off-putting. Is it a boundary thing? It feels like a boundary thing when I'm the one who feels that way about someone else's boundless love. That said, I don't want them to stop loving so intensely, just the freedom to keep myself at a distance. Because I'm the same. It hurts a lot too, to feel so strongly about things and people. If I try counting the times I've been mocked and ridiculed for caring VS the times it made me able to connect, the former win by a landslide. But giving up on that would mean also giving up on the latter, and I can't afford to lose that either. I'm trying to bleed a bit less later while keeping true to myself and the things and people I can love freely.
