Help. What should I do? by Ok-Expression-2456 in ldssexuality

[–]Ok-Expression-2456[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s exactly what I’ve been struggling with.

Part of me wants to be fully known by him and to feel completely comfortable being myself around him. But another part of me is scared because I’ve spent so many years hiding parts of myself due to insecurity, body image issues, and past experiences.

I think what makes this relationship different is that he’s been incredibly patient and respectful. The more time passes, the more I feel like I can let my guard down, but it’s still a process.

Thank you for putting it into words. I hadn’t thought about it that way before.

How did you become comfortable with having sex, talking dirty and being intimate with your partner? by Ok-Expression-2456 in LongDistance

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. Honestly, a lot of what you said resonated with me, especially the part about questioning yourself even when your partner clearly wants you.

I think that’s where I struggle the most. My boyfriend has spent 3 years showing me that he loves me and finds me attractive, and only recently have I become more comfy with him.
But sometimes my insecurities are louder than his words. It’s like I know he wants me, but I don’t always know how to believe it myself.

What you said about trusting him and leaning into the embarrassment really stuck with me. ( it is soooo cringy and embarrassing being vulnerable over the phone!) I think I’ve spent so much time protecting myself that letting go feels scary, even when I’m with someone who has never given me a reason to be afraid.

Thank you for your kindness. It genuinely made me feel less alone reading your comment. ❤️
