Fear of the Convergence

There are aspects of my life I should think of reconciling, allowing them to come together to the extent they might be able to, yet my inclination is to protect them by separating, keeping them at a distance, each one distinct, each complete and exclusive.  It is as though approaching one another might endanger them all.  It evidences a lack of trust, a fear of losing something (or of having something be lost), but trust is always the problem.  It is hard to trust people with whom important aspects of life are shared.  It is hard lest they be hurt in the convergence.
