I Am Very Selective When It Comes to Letting People Get Close Stories of Experiences

About a third of the stories on hear are people complaining about their depression, anxiety, or being different in any way. I'm so sick of this! Not only do these people tell the same story all in the same way about clueless humans...

I can say I've never been in a proper relationship. The longest relationship (I can't even call it so) lasted 1 month. Moreover I was the initiator of the break-ups all the time but once (Gosh, I still want that guy). But this is what...

Just when you think things will never change, someone comes into your life that makes you feel alive again. Maybe not in every way because this is the internet and even here you can't know all about a person. However you certainly can...

She wondered where this person
Who entered her life had came from
This person who made her feel so alive
Yet so incredibly numb
A mix of emotions on the inside
She keeps to herself but can't hide

you have to think of what you are opening yourself up

meeting in a club is fine

sex in the bathroom or car is ok

but letting them into your private life or home is risky

I have always felt that friendship is a two way street. Recently, a friend who has been in my life for some time has decided that I am apparently not worth the effort to communicate. I believe two way communication is nothing more...

I have a massive Intimacy issue when it comes to letting people see the real me. In fact, I don't think apart from my father I have ever let anyone get too close. Growing up in my house hold wasn't ideal most of my family struggle with...

I used to be trusting and let almost anyone into my heart with out any thought. that has changed i have learned the hard way most people are only out there to hurt you.   I have been lied to, cheated on, hurt, screamed at, blamed...

I am, as i have found through experience, caustic.

Well, i suppose that is too general.

I don't like seeing others waste potential. I first seek a person out to hear their story (I do live stories), I provide no advice until I have a...

Well to begin I need to break it down a little bit, and give a little bit of foreshadowing per say. I grew up in a small town, about 5000 people to be more precise, and I never ever dated. My friends, well some of them, did. You could...

I often find people who...

I'm not anyone's first choice
I'm not anyone's favorite
People may tell me
I mean a lot to them
And that I'm special to them
But I know
There's always someone
They will choose
Over me

You have made that possibility.
We can take that step to see if this is really gonna be. but why can't I say yes.
Loving you has taking a turn but i always knew you could be mine. I recognise the butterflies...

For some unknown reason to me I tend to push people away, rather it be a significant other or just friends..I just don't like getting too personal or sharing too much. I can't even think of a reason why I would feel the urge to keep...

The longest relationships I’ve ever had have all spanned over a decade. They’ve been meaningful, intense at times, and deeply, deeply rewarding.

They’ve...

The only reason i question their very intention. Are they around you or me just for our status, reputation or looks?....i have a very good perception at reading people off the bat the impression they give, if you try and cross me you'll...
