ForeverShine, Have you ever thought that maybe the reason why people don’t know the real you, or the reason you feel like you can’t be the real you is because you don’t know who you are? I know plenty of girls and guys who would love to feel really close to you, but it just seems like you aren’t really that CLOSE to anyone except maybe your brother. You don’t let people close and when they are you don’t really try to keep them that way.

I somewhat agree. I know who I am, I’m just ready to go somewhere new. I’m close to people, but yes there will always be a part of me that is more guarded. I think that’s how lots of people are though. I think I’m afraid of letting people too close because I’m afraid of getting hurt or hurting someone. Even my friends- I sometimes just feel like I’m suffocating. And I think part of that is just the fact that I’m so ready to move forward with my life and meet new people. (Not saying that I don’t love my friends…because I do and they know that so I shouldn’t have to explain myself to you.) But you’ve made a good point. Yes I’m close to my brother. That’s because I know he’ll always be there and I just love him more than anyone because, well, he’s my little brother.
