I Push People Away

I Dont Want Them To Get Hurt

I dont like getting close to people and I dont do it very often. I have about 3 really close friends. And all of them have tried to help me out of a situation that is impossible to get out off, and all of them have been hurt. When I was younger I lied to protect a friend from my 'problem' but instead it got him killed. I dont care what happens to me but I care about them and if anything happpens to them, Ill never be able to forgive myself. I push people away from me to protect them. Is that bad? Or am I doing the right thing?

    I do the same. I don't think it is a bad thing I mean we are just being loyal and some day we will have the confidence in both ourselves and our friends to the point where we are able to tell them who we are and know that even if the worst happens, we can trust ourselves to make our own way into this world.

    I hope this helps :)
