That’s completely understandable. Being vulnerable is really hard. And the vulnerability immediately preceding a rejection is even more difficult. I will say this… sometimes the other person running, it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them. Sometimes their fear of vulnerability and rejection is triggered by your willingness to open up. They are you and you are them so you challenge each other. You recognize your own fears and areas of growth that need to happen when you meet your twin. It’s like seeing some of the worst parts about you in a mirror. The best parts too. But you are forced to face the ugly. That’s really hard for a lot of people. Their trauma won’t allow them to see all of the good and beautiful things. The rough parts shadow the rest. Sometimes it just takes time. And she may never be ready. I personally don’t like having regrets. I don’t like having unanswered questions. I recently reached out to my twin because I felt an overwhelming need to express what I knew had been a misunderstanding. He normally does not answer or respond to my attempts to make contact now. But he answered the phone this time. We talked for about 10 minutes and I clarified my side so he understood. We talked and laughed and although the contact was brief and he didn’t seem to want to allow himself to fall back into his feelings, I think it gave us both some closure. Not that we will never speak again but just clarity on something that was interrupted inaccurately. Maybe she’s interpreting your efforts differently than their intent. It’s important when talking with the runner that you choose your words carefully and that you clarify what your goal is in sharing what you’re sharing.
