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?

I think the reason I don't completely open up to someone is more along the lines of not knowing myself as well as I could, and also at some level I don't want to be seen by anyone because maybe that will be grounds for rejection.
@SW-User rejection is tough, and yes, it’s important to know yourself. And like who you are. That will form the basis for who will be good for you, thus reducing the chance of rejection. And even then, rejection can be seen as a favour, because the other person is obviously too blind to see what is good for them

@Ghostinthemachine Yeah, but it's a process and sometimes our defense mechanisms love to trick us. 🙃
@SW-User that’s why it’s important to know thyself, so as not to trick yourself out of an opportunity 🙂
