Some Lessons Must Be Overcome
There is a folk saying, Someone who burns his tongue on hot soup will blow on cold soup. Although understandable, this response is inappropriate, because we react to a non-threat as though it were a threat. Some may relate they are afraid of trying a new relationship because of the pain of a previous rejection. While they crave companionship, they are afraid of it. When such reactions occur, it is important to recognize them and overcome them. The situation may contribute to chemical addiction, but even in the absence of chemical use, the result may be withdrawal, loneliness, or depression.
