When I was younger, many of my romantic escapades were just a means of simply avoiding being by myself. I was afraid of feeling lonely, afraid I wouldn't know what to say to myself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was younger, I was afraid to be myself.
I'm not a romantic. In life I didn't have much experience with romance.
I was blinded by being a romantic person.
I had a fear of being alone.
People will occasionally ask me if I understand what it's like to be lonely. And the truth is I don't, because for me, solitariness is a blessing, a gift. Me, I get on fine with myself.
I was afraid to express myself for a while.
Well, it's true that I've never been solitary, although I spend a lot of time alone. I've never felt lonely or been shy.
I never felt comfortable with myself, because I was never part of the majority. I always felt awkward and shy and on the outside of the momentum of my friends' lives.
I used to be afraid of pain, didn't take a lot of risks, especially in love. I'm not as afraid anymore. I'm more spontaneous, more likely to say what I think.
I never got the opportunity to be romantic or feel romantic with anyone.
