I'm not super open.  I 
hide my feelings, I hide my 
past, and I 
don't let people see me hurt.  I don't like to 
share, I don't like people to 
feel sorry for me, I don't like to 
make excuses and I don't like people to 
see me weak. I make an 
excellent listener, and I've heard many 
sad, sad, sad stories.  I've let people 
vent, I've tried to 
give advice.  
But when it's my turn, I close up.  I don't like to share.   I don't let people 
into my heart easy.  
Not even at all, sometimes.So, when people find out about 
my story and they try to 
confront me or 
relate, 
I get annoyed.  It bothers me.   When people tell me that
 I'm strong for everything I've had to go through, 
it doesn't comfort me.  I just want to 
avoid the conversation, I want to tell them that they 
surely don't know what I've been through, what I'm 
going through, or 
how I feel. 
I want to tell them that I'm really 
not strong, and I 
break down, and I have 
bad days.  I want to tell them that it's 
not their business, and that
 I'm not ready to share my life with them....but instead, I say nothing.   Because,
 I'm not super open.
