CHASE | ESTHER
A few years ago and I likely would have scrunched up like a turtle and retreated. Therapy has been good for figuring out how to not do that, at least.
In full disclosure, I have an ex that I dated for a while, several years ago, she would have told me to go and then been angry with me for going. I suppose being worried about that is an extension, even if I do not think you would do that.
