 But isn't that the point though? That fear is the other side of the coin, in that it can trap us in a state where we can no longer act. That can appear as indifference to the people we care about l, and be interpreted as a cold shoulder.

 Yes, you have a point in that...and a very good one.
So, how we get out of that point? 
Because some people, when we try to reach out, they go even further into the cave. And if we give space , they might think like you said, that we don't give a care... what a weird loop...lol

 I don't have an easy answer for that. It's part of what I'm working on right now tbh with you. All of these posts on my profile are for me.

 I agree with you, we must try to approach  situations always with love, even if not received. The tricky part is to be aware when we can push a little bit and when to just give space. When coming from an innocent place, is like a dance.
We must never forget the power of planting a seed....

 I will try to tell you a bit more, if you open. For me fear is a tool and love is a state of being.
Behind fear there is always something that needs our full attention and awareness.  Once understood, then it can be integrated in that state of love. Behind fear there is always some kind of magic. ✨️

 Sure, I'm always open to talk about this kind of thing.
