Travious Mitchell’s Reviews > Insecure in Love: How Anxious Attachment Can Make You Feel Jealous, Needy, and Worried and What You Can Do About It > Status Update

I’m unlearning, learning, and relearning about myself and how anxiety has affected me. I didn’t realize until this reading the different cycles I’ve allowed myself to experience. My greatest source of anxiety is unfaithfulness and the fear of being replaced by someone else, and I don’t like the feeling of that possibility.

I’m learning what forgiveness is and is not—we can’t manipulate or change the meaning of forgiveness just to justify our actions. I’m also learning to cope with and counter anxious thoughts and feelings when they arise.

Additionally, I’m becoming more aware of what I’m not attracted to and what I can no longer tolerate—inconsistency. It’s not good for me. All I want is consistency and love, and that’s what I ask for: consistency in communication, thoughtfulness, effort, empathy, and love expressed. I ask that, in love, I not be put in situations that cause me to question my partner’s intent.

I’m noticing so much more about myself, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to do the work, grow, and change. Someone will be grateful for this growth one day, too.
