better to be cautious and loved than gullible and burned
Is it better to be locked in a room all your life or occasionally get a burn from the sun?
In my case, I have found through therapy that it's about lack of confidence in myself to protect myself and heal from the pain of a failed relationship.
Once I started telling myself I'm stronger than I think I am, and that love is a risk worth taking, I'm a lot more confident putting myself out there.
