When Love Hurts: True Healing Begins by Embracing Yourself

These days, many people feel so much emotional pain that even breathing feels difficult.When love begins, it can feel like the entire world is smiling at you.Yet, a single word or expression from the other person can shatter that feeling in an instant.

The swings of emotion are so intense that love can feel like heaven one moment and hell the next.This isn’t simply about moodiness.

Deep inside, there is a fear that says, “Don’t abandon me,”and a quiet certainty that “I will ultimately be alone.”

People with borderline personality traits often have extremely sensitive emotional antennas.When they feel loved, it’s as if all the light in the world is shining on them.But even the slightest sense of neglect can make that light vanish,plunging them into deep darkness.

They crave love, yet fear losing it so much that they sometimes hurt others first or run away.

“You’re going to leave me anyway.”

Behind that statement hides a desperate cry:“Please don’t go.”

But true healing doesn’t begin by clinging to someone else.It begins the moment you embrace the fear within yourself.Only then does love start to flow naturally—without begging it from anyone else.

All we need to do is one thing:not push away the painful feelings,but gently hold them close.

When we wrap ourselves in love this way,love no longer causes pain.It becomes the path back to our true selves.
