Self-preservation

As much as I talk to people, I realize that nobody really knows anything personal about me anymore. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I’ve been let down by a lot of people. Way too many times. After a while, I developed some major trust issues. Well, I mean it’s not really that big of a deal… until you think about it, I guess. I just learned to close myself off from telling too much and investing a part of myself to anybody. I’m not a risk-taker. Never was. So when the time comes that I have to decide whether to trust someone at the expense of exposure or not, I'd rather just keep it in. I don’t want to keep blaming myself for things I could have avoided but didn’t. Some see it as distance, I see it as self-preservation.
