What happens when I feel fear when someone comes close to me?

outcome
"Embrace your inner emptiness, for when accepted, it transforms from a source of fear into the depth of life, allowing true intimacy to blossom."
According to Osho, fear of closeness arises from your unaccepted inner emptiness; you hide it behind a polished persona and keep others away. Through meditation, accept and rejoice in this emptiness—rejected it feels like death, accepted it becomes life and depth. Then openness is natural, intimacy flowers, and body, mind, and spirit can truly meet.
You’re scared they’ll see behind your mask and find your emptiness; befriend it through meditation, and closeness will feel safe.
