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’ve gotten to where I can’t seem to ignore the transience of people so I don’t share what I don’t want floating around out there in hands that don’t care about me. I will listen, support, be reliable and trustworthy, but I suppose on top of all my lack of entertainment value, my limits might also contribute to that transience. Compatibility is an odd thing for me. What are the requirements? I can get along with and even enjoy or adore a wide array of people I have nothing in common with. I’ve never actually authentically clicked or relaxed with anyone other than my daughters. I’m either compatible with most or none. 🤷‍♀️

@JustNik People are busy. Wrapped up in their own lives. It takes a special person to want to share theirs with you, and want to learn about yours in return. That takes time and effort, but for the right person, so very worth it.
