I think I live an independent and work-focused life but I'm actually just afraid that I won't get the kind of love that I want if I put myself out there.
Where do you think that fear comes from?
I was very shy as a kid, and that shyness came with me as I grew up.
I think you should put yourself outside your comfort zone often. Experience is the best way to overcome something.
I was born outside of my comfort zone and I don't see how being outside it will help me.
You should try to go out and experience new friendships or relationships. This can help you to release some of the fear that you have.
