Most of my insecurities stem from my chronic loneliness. I've never really had people to hang out with or family functions or anything of the sort, so I always hate getting questions about my personal life because answering honestly will probably bum people out or lead to unsolicited pity.
I've grown pretty distant from my coworkers and I keep conversations fairly superficial with my neighbors, so I don't have to actually worry about broaching the topic, but I'm fairly confident they can tell anyway that my life lacks adventure.

@TinyViolins you know what i really feel you. I am actually people's like when I'm young but not sure who is sincere or not. But now i becoming old i now keep to myself and enjoy my own company. And become kind of introvert barely talk to people and just work keeping my distance with people. I don't know how i become like this because I'm so annoying and talkative before. But i realize it's better to keep distance than to be trying hard to win people like you or what. And be happy with your own company. I think I'm just getting old hehe. I want to talk to you about more this. Because i just want to be myself now. And show people i know not the same me as before. I kind of change don't know how.

@ihavenoone People become guarded. They get hurt or they exhaust themselves mentally or emotionally and they become afraid of letting themselves become vulnerable again. They have this very deep fear and mistrust of other people that keeps anyone from getting close enough to hurt them. They shut themselves away from any kind of love or connection.
I'm fairly content with my life the way it is. I have my dog and my hobbies, but I know that deep down I am wary of people and I don't like that my social interactions are dictated by misanthropy. I'm a person that can be supportive, and thoughtful, and caring, and dependable, but most people never get to see that because I don't let them.
That's the thing that bothers me, is that the best of me is kept away from people because I expect them to disappoint me. I would feel like I was wasting my time and energy
