I have a shield up because of some things that have happened to me in the past that I can't get over enough to just LET people in. I've been there, and I've gotten too hurt to let it happen again, so of course, I'm going to protect myself.
I wait until I allow myself to be vulnerable to someone, especially a significant other.
I'm also shy, so that can be another factor in this equation--Maybe you're just reading them wrong?
Is it normal for everyone to have a shield up?
