I can't seem to be able to let anyone in. As soon as anyone gets close to knowing me, or in anyway just close to me, I push them away. How do I stop shutting people out. I don't talk the person I consider my bestfriend really. I'm a listener not a talker. Theres no use in complaining about my problems, it doesnt do anything. I just want to be able to get close to someone, anyone. How do I do this? (link)
I had trouble letting people in and feeling not accepted and that people didn't understand me. What my problem was, was that I was afraid of being betrayed or not being accepted. I looked at my options.

You have to ask yourself what you want. You can live forever with relationships with people and know your going to take the occasional hit or backstab. But you would live life with love and relationships.... Or you could live your life caged up and push everyone away and be alone.... Thats what I did for a while anyways and I hated it.

You need to let people in knowing that love/relationships= 1) possible pain 2)a life worth living.

Hope this helps :)


"Yes. Anyone can fall in love at any age. Im 16 years old and most deffinately in love and in an amazing relationship (officially engaged) with a girl who lives 2 hours away from me. Long distance can work. (if you're wondering why im engaged at 16 im going to college next year lol.) "

i was lookin @ this question and just wondering what your girlfriend was like. i know that sounds kinda wierd..but theres this guy i really like and i can tell he really loves his girl,,but he wont admit it. i was just wondering what i should say to get it out of him.. :)

She is cool. She is different. Shes mature, kind and fun to be around. She is respectful of the fact that im not really into the whole sex thing. Thats hard to find. Being understanding is a quality. One thing you really should do is NEVER take any crap. Don't be insecure. Have confidence in yourself because you dont want a guy who is looking for insecurity.

You should confront him. Make sure that your not comming on too strong. Make sure he doesn't flake out and beat around the bush. Ask him if he likes her because you dont want to be led on. If he is flirting with you while he has a girlfriend then that tells you something about the kind of guy he is. And remember Be strong.

And yes, i proposed. :)
I love her very much and trust her completely.

If you need anything add me as a friend. Im good in most situations to come to for advice.
