Well, for one, I'm a complete walking contradiction. I'm afraid to get close to people because I don't want to hurt them. But then, I'm afraid to also open up to people and have them hurt me, even though I try to give them the benefit of the doubt, I've been hurt before, and I really don't like the feeling, so I'm a bit guarded in that aspect. That's a good point though; your opinion, I mean!
Oh, I understand where you're coming from completely. We're not so different, you and I. Sometimes I think I'm the only one who feels this way so it's nice to know I'm not alone after all. I've been hurt by so many people I loved and trusted in the past and, for me, it is the worst feeling there is. But I've been trying to open up to people a bit more lately and I have to say it feels great. Oh, you think? Why thank you, dear!
