Once bitten twice shy.

I’m afraid to ever get close to anyone because I have a fear

that one day we’ll fight and they’ll tell everyone my secrets,

or use them against me. I hate being vulnerable, so I always

put on a tough exterior but deep down I just want to know

that there’s someone there for me that’ll listen to what I say

in confidence and keep it just between us, but I know there’s

no one like that in my life now, and I don’t think I’ll be able

to find that person in the future. These trust insecurities

just get in the way and prevent me from ever really trying.

Is there a true friend at all ?

Tell me.
