My friend is the antisocial one and he hates everyone. He hates them all so that way he never get hurt.

I feel his pain its not that I hate everyone I just dont trust people honestly and its hard for me to make friends. Like this girl I know is like honestly my only friend in real life. Other people are like casual people i know. XD

Holy crap it's like a female version of my friendship with him. He drives me bananas sometimes but I love the guy. He's very loyal and is a great friend, there's just alot of hurt in him that he's not ready and may never be ready to deal with.

@Allelse: Thats probably how my friend deals with me. She actually doesnt have a lot of patience which is why im suprised were still friends because I suck at being social, I used to have depression mode where id like issolate away and not talk to her, and I am shy and just not normal XD But i am loyal I will listen to you, I will stand by your side and gladly meet up with her one on one :)

@AnnRose: Just like him I think you have a good heart. But take some advice from me,mwhatever pain you have now will not go away on its,own and it won't get better with age, infact it could get a hell of alot worst. I've watched my dear friend isolate himself from people and the world and get worst and worst and worst over the years. Till the point that the slightest little thing sets him off and he'll spend a week barley eating or sleeping from the pain, depression and anxiety in his mind.

Maybe it won't be the same for you, I don't know you that well but, just keep this in mind and kno that it's alright to get some professional help :) and that yes, there are times in life that you will get hurt, but it's nothing to the pain and anguish of a lifetime spent disengaged from reality.

@Allelse: Ive gotten help before I only can try to do better thats what i try to do everyday. I do have a good heart for people I care about if you hurt them I swear i can be queen bitch the shyness is gone. Dont fuck with people I love.

@AnnRose: Maybe, and I'm not looking to hurt your feelings, but maybe you need to open your heart up abit. I know it's not easy and I can gaurantee you will at some point get hurt, but maybe just open it up a little but for more than just those select few people. :)

@Allelse: No trust me you didnt and wont hurt my feelings i know what i have to do. I just dont do it like I automatically stop myself I think its because i was bullied pretty badly and singled out like I mean im an adult now but i think subconciously that shit never leaves you and your always still afraid. I have opened up and have gotten hurt so i guess now it takes a certain type of person to crack the shell. I can only learn from things.

@AnnRose: No it never does leave you, atleast until you process it and deal with with the pain which can often be a very slow and painful thing to do. I'm sorry those people hurt you :( And I wish you all the luck in life in both getting help and maybe learning trust again.
