Sometimes I think that the reason I don't end up with a nice guy is that it's just so alien to me

When you didn't grow up with it, you feel out of place in the presence of a truly caring person. Like they are on a level that I don't belong at with them. I'm not saying that I'm a mean person, I genuinely love and care for people around me. But there's still this glass wall between giving that out and receiving it for myself.

Can anyone relate to this?

Totally tbh. I find it really hard to get close to people. It feels really really awkward to compliment my girlf now, it seemed to be easier when we weren’t dating. I don’t know whether it’s ‘there’s more to lose now’ or something. I really like SW as I feel I can be more honest and open, in real life, I put walls up and have created a person that tries to be much cooler than I really am.

My personal thoughts and feelings about what it's all about. :)

That is, life itself (not 'Similar Worlds'). I'm in the middle of having a discussion with someone here on SW who actually likes talking about the things that actually matter and who, like me, despises "small talk". We were on the topic of meaning... See More »
