Do you ever think that maybe the reason you don’t completely open up to someone

And reveal the “real” you, is because deep down you know if you did, you wouldn’t be compatible?

It's a matter of "what will they do with the information I give them?" Most don't stick around long enough where there is any point to opening up. Others, when you reveal yourself to them makes you appear weak or possibly deranged in their eyes.

You wanna know more about me? Don't jump off the ride halfway through

@JestAJester I suppose we get snippets of information about people the more time we spend with them. Like a good novel, we have to stay engaged in order to want to turn the next page, if not we put the book back in the shelf and find another. But there is always someone else that may be willing to read to the end

@Ghostinthemachine A human being is a unique set of pages for sure. It is not one book, but a collection of sorts. A series of short stories of varying lengths and genres. But you do not always get to choose which novel to read. Sometimes you may have to put one down and read another to understand the first novel. Some novels are better left unread until the end

@JestAJester I think, for the most part, we always get to choose. The decisions may be difficult, but the final choice rests with you
