The tendency to keep intimacy secret is overbearing, there's just no right way to put it. I explain, because deep down I'm paralyzed by fear. It's this uneasiness and dread, of love mostly, and the idea that someone might love me, for good, that keeps me in darkened shackles.

“The Addictive System perceives all people who are truly alive as direct threats to it. Consider what happens in most Addictive System organizations whenever new people are brought in. If they are recent high school or college graduates, they start out bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Then what happens? They are ground down. Their energy, productivity, and readiness to set the world on fire are threatening to those who are operating within the system. So they are ground down, sat on, and forced to fit in - to give up their aliveness. The spoken goal of the organization may be productivity, profit, or service; the unspoken goal is usually to preserve the system and the status quo."
