"There are no guarantees that someone who loves us will always satisfy our wants. But we will certainly achieve more satisfaction than if we keep our desires a secret. To express our wants may not guarantee fulfillment, but to suppress them does guarantee frustration. What if we are afraid to speak our wants plainly? We acknowledge the fear to ourselves and to our partner. We describe our apprehension simply and honestly. And then we communicate our wants. It does not serve our interests to be stopped by fear of being hurt or to participate in romantic love while telling ourselves that we have no right to personal desires. We have a responsibility to treat ourselves with the respect we hope to receive from others. Otherwise, we ask for a contradiction." - Taking Responsibility, -Nathaniel Branden PH.D
