Still, I hope someday to get to the point where I'd be able to share my innermost hopes and fears and doubts with a friend who was interested but was unable to share the same in return. Maybe I wouldn't always do it, but I'd be able.
You can practice on me if you like. :) I really don't have friends with whom I'm very open. I mean, I share some aspects of my life with them, but very few of my deepest feelings.
Yet, it's not a lack of self-acceptance. Some of it stems from some very bad experiences with people I couldn't trust. I also moved around a lot growing up, so I never really had the experience of sustaining a lifelong (or at least long term) friendship. My sister and brother were my best friends (and worst enemies, at times).
Hmmm...I need to go post on this in my own journal, so I'm not taking over yours! :) Thanks for making me think, CJ -- you are really cool and awesome that way.
