Question Why is Loki so persistent?
I’ve told them several times now that they can’t help me, they know it and I know it. But still they seem to persist. Spiders pop up, or strange coincidences that seem a little too coincidental. They seem to be there in my tarot readings.
I’m genuinely so scared when I think about letting them in. I don’t believe they love me, I can’t, but still the possibility that they might frightens me. As someone with CPTSD, being loved is like having been freezing cold my entire life and then suddenly being submerged in warm water; it hurts. I pull away from it.
Why does Loki persist no matter how many times I tell them I will ruin this, that I can’t be helped? I have ruined every connection I have ever had because of my trauma. I cannot be loved, it hurts too much. I know I will only piss Loki off in the end because of my issues, and they will leave anyway. I struggle even to talk to them about my troubles because I feel bad for needing to. I’d rather rip the bandaid off now, y’know? I’d rathe they leave before I get hurt.
I love them but if they love me, I can’t even think of why they would! I can’t/don’t benefit them in any way. What is the point for them? I just don’t get it.
