Fear is not rooted in fact. Fear is rooted in negative thoughts and the story lines in our heads.

Avoidance is a passive-aggressive way of expressing that you are tired of showing up. Hoping the problem will go away feels like the safest option, but avoidance is a fear-based response. Avoiding a discussion of our expectations doesn’t prevent conflict. It prolongs the inevitable task of setting boundaries.

What you're searching for in others lies within you.
