"Want to have love," "but don't dare to start again."

Have you ever felt

Want to have love

But when someone comes in,

You back off yourself.

It's not because he's bad.

But because

You're "scared."

You're not afraid of new people.

You're scared.

That it must feel the same way again

Disappointment

Regret.

The obscurity.

Your brain.

Remember it too well

Until it tries

"Protect you."

By making you

Dare not start

You're not weak.

You just

Not recovered yet

And sometimes

New START

Not having anyone new.

But is

Coming back feels good.

With myself again.

And then one day,

You won't have to force a fresh start.

Because you'll be "ready" yourself. 🧠

... Read moreการกลัวเริ่มต้นความรักใหม่ไม่ใช่เรื่องแปลก ทุกคนล้วนเคยเจอความรู้สึกว่ามีรักครั้งเดิมที่เคยทำให้เจ็บปวด จนสมองจดจำความรู้สึกนั้นอย่างชัดเจนและทำหน้าที่ปกป้องใจเราจากการเสี่ยงซ้ำอีกครั้ง แต่อย่างที่บทความบอกไว้ว่า เราไม่ได้กลัวคนใหม่ แต่อาจจะเป็นความกลัวว่าจะต้องเจ็บปวดเหมือนเดิมอีกครั้ง ด้วยประสบการณ์ตรงที่เคยเจอเรื่องนี้มา การเริ่มกลับมารักตัวเองเป็นก้าวแรกที่สำคัญมาก เพราะถ้าใจเรายังไม่พร้อม การจะเปิดรับความรักจากคนใหม่ก็เป็นเรื่องยากและอาจทำให้เกิดความไม่มั่นคงทางอารมณ์อีกครั้ง วิธีที่ช่วยให้กลับมารักตัวเองได้ดีขึ้นคือ การยอมรับความรู้สึกเก่าๆ ที่เราเคยเจ็บปวด ยอมรับความกลัวและอย่าปฏิเสธมัน ให้เวลาใจได้ฟื้นฟู จากนั้นสร้างกิจกรรมที่ช่วยเพิ่มความมั่นใจและความสุขให้กับตัวเอง เช่น การทำสมาธิ เขียนบันทึก หรือพูดคุยเปิดใจให้กับเพื่อนหรือผู้เชี่ยวชาญด้านจิตใจ นอกจากนี้ การมองความรักไม่ใช่แค่การหาคนเข้ามาเติมเต็ม แต่เป็นการเสริมสร้างความสุขและความเข้าใจในตัวเองก่อน เมื่อตัวเราพร้อม ความรักก็จะเข้ามาอย่างเป็นธรรมชาติ ไม่ต้องฝืนใจและไม่ต้องกังวลว่าจะเจ็บซ้ำอีก สรุปคือ การกล้าที่จะเสี่ยงครั้งใหม่ จะเกิดขึ้นได้เมื่อเรากล้ากลับมารักตัวเองก่อน แล้วรักแท้จะไม่ใช่เรื่องไกลตัวอีกต่อไป

You don’t need to feel 100% ready to take a step that matters. Sometimes the fear isn’t a warning, it’s simply a sign that you’re growing. Start small, start imperfect, but start. Progress is proof that you’re alive, not that you’re flawless.💛🍃 No necesitas sentirte lista al 100% para dar un pas
