When the relation is based on knowing and understanding each other, with confidence and trust, one feels comfortable to open his/her heart more fully to the partner.
But when he/she does not find confidence or trust in the relation he/she may hold back opening his heart.

It is always the inner feeling and lack of confidence in expressing one love or may be with the feeling that the other person may say something or reject him/her Such thinking only holds one back from opening their heart fully in th e matter of love.

This feeling comes when you realize that you are not understood fully, and definitely not respected because of what you are. There are people who will immediately tell you that they know you very well, yet a small percentage of them may have actually known you. It requires a person a long time to really feel and understand the other.

And when we see that we are definitely not respected for the way we are, there is a tendency that we restrict ourselves from opening up.
