A few months ago, a friend told me that I have set up invisible walls to keep people away from coming close to me. Even though I appear at a glance a most cheerful and friendly person, I just have a knack of keeping people at arms length away from me and never allowing people to get within that wall.
I just realized that I do have these invisible barriers set up around myself. I don't really know how or why exactly they were built up around me unconsciously... but it sure is time to start letting go and start living.
I guess I'm just starting to tune-in to knowing myself better... and I sure need to learn how to give more trust to others like how a child would trust a person they are comfortable with.
Probably the "trust no one" concept that was occasionally droned on by either one of my parents throughout my teens and college years caused me to do this to myself... but nevertheless... it's not something that I should hold on to.
My dear friend, thanks for spotting all this about me. It's slowly helping me to be my own true self. I know it's been annoying for you to point things out to me point blank without my initial recognition of what you see in me... but hey! It's starting to hit me in the face... so yeah... thanks.
