you already know the answer to your questions but you're afraid of risking it. No matter how hard you try to go forward knowing the answer at the back of your mind, you're held back by your lack of determination. You are not strong willed.
A mask that you wear everyday is beginnning to crumble under pressure. What pressure!? Its your insecurity. You are beginning to feel the strain . every cell in you is beginning to give up. You'd start to get cranky, moody, pessimistic and overly sensitive. you'd start to imagine a lot of stuff. You'll let your imagination run wild, thinking abt all the possibilities that something bad will happen to you forever. You keep yourself busy , drowning yourself in sorrows. That's the irony of life. When we know that there are better things to expect in life, in the world, we allow ourselves to succumb to the anguish that we created or those that we allowed to remain.
So every time when someone gives you an advice, you'd start to reflect and you'd soon come to tell yourself : "Hey i knew that all along BUT... "
or as the person is talking to you, you'd go : "yea i know.. that's how i felt etc etc BUT..."
YOU SEE !! that's the irony . You always seem to know BUT you'd fail to see that doing what you know is the best as it would slowly lead you to other avenues in life that will allow you to make better choices and increases the creditability of your judgements as you go along. You're just afraid of going ahead with what you think/believe cause you're afraid of falling over and over again. and because you're tired of having to find yourself in miseries.

So, an injury caused by a barb wire is physical. It heals with time. Taking proper care of the wound, knowing how to treat it, you'd recover.
Even still, an injury of the 'heart' may be emotional [psycological]. It definitely would heal over time. You'd have to know how to work out your emotional state of mind. Think through stuff properly and not biasly! You will definitely have negative thoughts along the process of 'healing' . BUT once again, its up to you to stay strong willed and recover .
In life, people get hurt emotionally many times . Couple fights, Friendship squabbles, Parent-Child different ideology, Work misunderstandings etc etc. HOWEVER, all these events in life, are not the real cause of your agony. GOD!? No way!. :)
So who is it .. really!? ITS YOU!!
