You can feel alone even while in a relationship.
When you choose to hold back, not because you’re scared but because you’re making a deliberate choice to stay within your own boundaries, there’s a cost. And that cost can feel a lot like loneliness.
As you move from boundaryless interactions to healthier ones, it will feel isolating at times. Do not let that discourage you: it means you're choosing connection without losing yourself.
