Featured Monologue – Protective Shield
RITA: I keep things in. Things. Emotions. My emotions… I know that’s probably not a good thing. Life has made me that way, I guess. I have a tendency to show no emotion when I am feeling emotion.
I just have a hard time opening up to someone. I get closed off. Being emotional in front of someone makes me vulnerable, and I have a hard time with that. You know, being in that state of vulnerability, it’s not a place where I like to be because I feel like I’m not in control. When I’m not in control, I get anxiety.
Whenever I truly loved anybody and opened myself up to them, they have always stabbed me in the back. I have a hard time with that, trusting people. It can be anyone – friends, family, boyfriend, you. I’m not sure if I truly trust anyone in my life. It’s sort of a protective shield I’ve put up, and it only gets stronger with time.
I do desire to be more vulnerable, but at the same time I desire to stay protected. I feel torn. Every time I do take a risk, I get hurt. Not sure if I should keep taking those risks.
