Nurturing

Blade · 03-27-2011, 06:43 PM

Nurturing started very early in my life. I suppose it began with nurturing animals and when my sister came along and my parents working late, I began being her nurturer. I've been a nurturer for as long as I can remember and I always enjoy it.

I was nurtured as a child by a huge extended family and my parents, and watched them nurture each other. My parents still nurturer me in someways still. In my adult life I have found it difficult to accept nurturing. I find it hard to trust someone trying to nurture me, like I wonder why they want to, or do I look like I need nurturing, almost like it is a weakness in my eyes for me to be nurtured. I don't know why that is but I hope I figure it out.

I suck at nurturing myself.

I feel nurtured when someone cooks for me or takes me into account/thinks of me in small ways when I am not with them.

I just asked my gf how I nurture and she said emotional support and the "little things I do for her" and being "thoughtful".

I agree with you Nat. I think that nurturing can come more natural to some than others, but I also think that one can learn to nurture.

Interesting topic.
