Answer 1

You sound like me, sort of. I never tell anyone my story any more bc when I have in the past it always got twisted around and inside out, and just made a mess. It always seems to be more trouble than it is worth! Well, now I have the perfect friend, she is one of those people, who the world is all about her and she never istens to anything I say, so I can whine, and complain all day long, and get the crap off my chest, and feel better, and it goes no further, because she doesn't care and never hears anything unless it is about her!! We do lunch and go shopping once a week. Maybe you should look for a buddy like that, we have been doing this for about 5 yrs. now! The only draw back is listening to her go on about how crappy her life is, even thought she pretty much has it made!

BE YOURSELF!! its good to open up to people b\c the people you talk to may have the same problem. dont let someone else get you down. we're all human and no one is more special than someone else. but ya be there for people and you'll start openin up to them and they'll start openin up to you. who knows you might just make tons of friends and some best friends!!! i hope this helps. JUST DONT GIVE UP!!

just be nice and friendly to everyone and they will open up to you and that will lead you to open up to them!
