FEAR NOT.
Struggling with an inablity to exert myself for fear of being misunderstood.
However absence can have a bigger impact then conflict in communication.
" When people pull away, the lies grow, and the truth fades into a whisper. Isolation kills love. Fight to stay connected, and fight to help those you love stay connected. People long for a connection that heals." Devotions for on the go.
Feeling stressed, emotionally unsettled? Give an old trusted friend a call and have them pray for you! Encourage each other and build each other up 1 Thess. 5:11
Ironically when you pull away, your lack of influence leaves a hole for any other influence to fill the gap. Absence causes great damage. But on the flip side, fighting, arguing just to prove you are right does not make good communication... Arguing just to establish you are top dog certainly drives people away as well.
Fear is what keeps us from direct communication.

IF ONLY I KNEW..........
that my past is no excuse for who I am now,
that truth could have set me free to change.
"Overwhelmingly, men use one word to describe what they do when they feel insecure: withdraw. One way or the other, a man who feels insecure will often force space. If quietness doesn't work, excessive irritation, or anger can usually do the job. " Beth Moore So Long Insecurity
don't mind the demons, don't let them fill you with fear
