One of my biggest social problems is that I hate being asked a lot of questions. Im really private for reasons that I can't even explain. I guess it was just drilled into my mind at a young age never to tell my business to anyone. Well, now Im 19 and I still have this notion that I must never tell my business. On the one hand its cool because nobody knows too much about me and thats how I like it. But on the other hand its hard for people to get to know me. I kind of just evaluate people and after a while of them putting up with my mysterious nature I open up more and more until I can call them a friend. The problem with this method of making friends though, is that I only have one friend after so many years of not trusting others with me, my character. I just dont trust people to get to know me. Its not meant to to be defensive against people or to accuse others of being bad people, its just that I dont give my trust away easily. I can't meet a boyfriend or new friends because Im so private and it sucks because I know I have a lot to offer but Im holding myself back because I won't let anybody in. The thing is, Im a really bubbly and polite person, I talk to a lot of people and a lot of people express that they like my personality (what they can get of it anyway). And I just feel like I do have a great personality that I should share. Its just the skepticism and taboo of airing too much is really drilled into my mind and Im most comfortable being out of the spotlight as much as possible
i'm a super-private person too, and there's nothing wrong with that. trust is a privilege, not something people are entitled to.
something to keep in mind is that this is a generation that overshares via social media and keeping things to yourself is considered 'weird'. but you can't force yourself to be someone you aren't, and anyone who cares enough about you should get that.
