It's the people closest to us who judge us the harshest, sometimes rightfully so, but sometimes you just don't want all that.<BR/><BR/>"One shot to your heart without breaking your skin, no one has the power to hurt you like your kin..."

Hmm... sometimes. I thin...Am I afraid of the truth? Hmm... sometimes. I think we're all afraid of it sometimes. My real problem is that on some levels I'd rather just know the truth without having to verbalize it. It's dumb, but a problem.<BR/><BR/>As for my friends. I am very selective. Everyone doesn't make it into the inner-circle. However, those that do find a really good friend in me and feel like they can open up. I like for people around me to feel like they can and should be honest about who they are and what they're about, with me. At the same time, people, all of us, have some serious secrets and things we hold inside and I find that my personality draws those secrets out of people. They feel comfortable confiding in me and those things can be heavy burdens to carry around.<BR/><BR/>What I'm trying to say is that being a person of full-disclosure (rather than instant) isn't going to mark you off my list of friends.A.Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10542810587986768786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15157689.post-48789071982474127612009-03-21T09:46:00.000-05:002009-03-21T09:46:00.000-05:00A.SMithThats kind of Oxymoronic, Earlier this week...A.SMith<BR/><BR/>Thats kind of Oxymoronic, Earlier this week you said you are very selective when it comes to friends. <BR/><BR/>Is not the instance of disclosure part of that selection process?<BR/><BR/>Are you afraid of the truth?Dafonzarellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17894786235655509679noreply@blogger.com
