All the things that people do in order to show that they don't need anybody... meanwhile, all they really want to do is say, "Please keep me." We all want to be kept. The problem is we are too afraid to let anyone know about it. What are these fragile things in our hearts that have so much fear of being broken? C. Joybell C.
About This Quote

All of us care deeply about our relationships and we want to be needed and we want to be loved. We want others to know that we are one of them. As people, we also fear that if we let others in too much, they might leave us. This quote tells us that our fear is of letting others in and that it is of our own doing.

While this is true, the quote also tells us that we do not need to fear letting someone in because it is a two-way street. If someone does not let us in, it is because they do not need us as much as we need them.
