You’re feeling somewhat vulnerable, and you might want to protect yourself from things or people you perceive as dangerous. This is an important instinct, but you need to remember not to shut things down completely. There are plenty of people out there who care about you, and cutting yourself off from them shouldn’t be part of the plan. In fact, someone out there is almost certainly working overtime on your behalf.
