Closed off to love (baggage, love block, a wall, etc.)?

Question

Have you every felt that you're "blocked" against love?

Me, I've been hurt before and for whatever reason, I wonder if I have some sort of "block" that keeps things from working. It seems like the guys I meet are wrong for me, but if I really like someone I am self defeating and it never seems to go anywhere because I end up being too shy, or too forward, too anxious or whatever. It's like I protect myself from the one thing I want (to love and be loved!)

I want to be open to love but I don't know how. This might also have to do with my father leaving when I was very young. Other than therapy, how to overcome?

Answer 1

I am optimistic that you will find love someday. I used to be referred to as " the ice queen " by my friends for many, many years. Then, I met *the one*. It turns out, I fell in love with someone who I would never have imagined myself with. Wasn't looking for it, it just happened. He balances me, makes me feel loved, like I am his world. There is undeniable positive energy when we are together. It's weird. The virtues of love being praised and all, there is nothing wrong with protecting yourself, but you need to stay away from the less than desirables. You know who those guys are... the ones that don't put you up on a pedestal ready to catch you if you should fall ( or decide to jump ) . You need to take interest in the guys who make you feel like you are the world to them ( but not in an over-powering, controlling way ). When you meet the right person, it will work, naturally, without having to think too much about it. Just accept that you will be loved for what you are, whether you are " too shy, too forward, too anxious or whatever "... I think you just need to hang in there and not over think it.

In one sense Yes. Our mundane love is a pererted reflexion of the actual love that exists between The Supreme God and Goddess within the Spiritual realm. The Supreme Divine Couple aslo known as Sri Sri Radha and Krishna are the original Loving relationship. We all expand from Them We can not have any quality that They do not have. But we have those qualities in minute quantity, where They have it in Full. The Femanine aspect of God or His Femanine counterpart has been taken from most religions due to mans envious neature of the Supreme. Originally Jesus taught of mother Goddess. But that was taken out by the Church in 324 AD by Constantine and his click of scribes. The Gospel of the Nazirenes explains What Jesus originally said before it was all strickened by Unscrupulous men. It is said in the Vedas that the closest thing in this world to Divine love, is a mothers love for her child. But we can see in this age that has even become so distorted. Mother even kill their children in this age. So it is hard to compare in the age of Kali. But we can get an idea from a very loving mother. Thanks.
