- "The emotional demands of others make on me will exhaust my inner resources and so should be avoided."

- "I am powerless when it comes to negotiating my needs and desires, and others may not listen anyway, so the safest course of action is to withdraw."
- "Overall, separation from others feels more comfortable than the alternative."
- "If I am spontaneous in my actions or feelings, others will disapprove, I will feel embarrassed or I will feel out of control or expose myself in a way that seems intolerable."
- "It's better and safer to feel my emotions when I am by myself (and not when I am in the presence of others)."
