I Am Very Selective When It Comes to Letting People Get Close

Not everyone has the same heart as I do, and having had my heart broken beyond belief I have learned to be more cautious in my attempt to protect it. Especially concerning men. Bad memories, hurtful words and betrayal have made me more careful about who I let into my life and how I get to know them. Because many people simply don't deserve my trust. Finding ones who stay loyal, have your back and keep your secrets is becoming more rare. Why is this? My thoughts, feelings, heartbreaks and dreams may not mean as much to someone else, even if they pretend it does. Some know what it means to be great friends and genuinely care while others only care about themselves. Online, I am sure this is even more of a problem which is why no one needs to know that much about me. Sharing your personal life with so many people is a big risk, but it's fine to be a little cynical and it's okay to not be too trusting. It just means being extra careful about those I let into my life and heart.
