Are you easy to get close to… or does it take time?

I used to be easy but not anymore I'm becoming impossible with my guard way up

Same

i used to be more trusting on here but i've got a more watchful eye since i came here in 2022,,,,there are a few however, that i could tell where i'm at and say/ask...wanna go for a beer 🙂

I think im pretty easy to get to know....i just don't want to 😂

Don't get me wrong.... I'd love a small tribe of like minded friends to hang out with once in a blue moon.

Im just not highly social.
I love 'chillin'.

So i need chill people🤗

I have always differentiated colleagues from acquaintances from friends.

I have considered few people actual friends over my decades. Even among family and friends, I'm not sure how many really "get" me. Some I thought did, but didn't really.

It's okay. I was extremely shy when young. I moved past that, but elements of that still exist.

Fairly easy...but you have to get past the cat first 😬😬

I really don’t have any fear of being hurt, so I’m awfully open here and irl. My friendships are stronger irl. Here I rarely pm. Women deal with enough. I just don’t want to be a bother to anyone.

I'm very cautious with who I let get close. I’ve been betrayed and lied to by just about everyone I’ve known and let get close.

Plus no one wants to get close to me anyways. Can’t blame them.

Somewhat easy to get to know surface level stuff. Anything deeper… yeah that’s a rarity.

It’s how I survived summer camp in 1993.

I’m somewhat hard to get close to. I feel energies and I give/open up accordingly. I have trust issues too so I’m always reading between the lines and watching people’s actions.

Difficult. I trust no one. It takes years to break that and even then

Difficult. Connections require conversation and that takes effort. Effort I'm probably already putting somewhere else

That makes getting caught appropriately difficult. 🙂‍↕

It really just depends if I feel comfortable I’ll open up but i really need to start being more closed off because I keep getting myself hurt

There's something about an online community that can bond over shared experiences. Maybe it's the anonymous nature of it but I think it's fair to say we sometimes need that outside validation we get from folks who don't know us. Maybe they are less judgmental and more sympathetic because they understand

I don't really let people in. So many of them have abandoned me along the way that I don't give them the chance anymore.

I’m pretty easy to get close to, but that’s just the light side of myself doing its thing. The me that’s hidden for a good reason will probably never see the light of day again. It simply hurts too much to let that rawness and vulnerability get fumbled around by others.

Not really. Only a few really close friends know the real me. I'm super good at masking what's really going on.

It takes time, i have lived such crazy life i cant relate with most people.
