Addicts are afraid that if someone truly knew about their addiction or deepest secrets and insecurities then they would be rejected.

No one would love me as I am. We are all afraid of rejection, however each person has a deep desire to be fully known and fully loved. Addicts are afraid that if someone truly knew about their addiction or deepest secrets and insecurities then they would be rejected. So instead of being vulnerable, they hide part of their life from others and live a life of quiet desperation. We all do this to one degree or another and we hide behind masks or false selves, pretending we have everything together, when inside our soul is withering.
