The Lengths We Go To Avoid Love
- The idea of trying to avoid love sounds paradoxical in the extreme. Why would anyone take steps to deny themselves an experience which seems so plainly positive and life-enhancing? Plenty of people are denied love by external forces. Why would anyone take active measures to sabotage love if it lay before them? The answer can only be found by looking back in time. Though we all crave love in theory, our capacity to accept it in practice is critically dependent on the quality of our early emotional experiences. To abbreviate sharply, we can only willingly tolerate being loved if, as children, the process of loving and being loved felt sufficiently reliable, safe and kind. Some of us were not so blessed. Some of us were stymied in our search for love in ways we have not yet recovered from or fully understood. Perhaps the person we wanted to love fell ill or grew depressed. Or at the height of our dependence on them, they went away or had a new family or turned their attention to a younger sibling.
