    People suck I learned that in junior high school and I've been a loner ever since then so I understand how you feel just love who you are and fine something positive to focus on

    Yes. Me too. Those walls just won't come down. When I was younger I thought I would never find someone either. I did get married though. But, I don't think he truly knows "the me". I've tried. Someday I will able to be the person I want to be. It's still a work in progress!

    I've felt this way a lot. And I honestly can't say I don't right now. But always keep in mind that there will always be flaws. You aren't perfect, and neither are they. And there are sometimes things that make up for those flaws.

  • It takes a lot to get to know me and I don't let my guard down easily, so I know what you are talking about.

    Sometimes it's as if I have to find a flaw or force an issue just because I can. I suppose I'm an emotional masochist in a respect.

    You're normal. I was the same way until I met by best friend, and even then it took a long time for me to trust him enough to be honest with him.

    I feel the exact same way.
