What option best describes your relationships with others?
This post raises more questions for me. Specifically, are any of you afraid of actually making friends for fear that they'll discover how lonely you really are?
I know this is a definite fear of mine, especially since I'm a college junior. It's suspicious and awkward that someone with 3 years of college under his/her belt hasn't developed even a small group of actual friends that he/she knows and trusts well.
And when an old highschool friend of mine came back, my heart nearly leapt out of my chest. Of all people, this person would be the most embarrassing to admit that I had no one, really.
I never really thought about this, but this might very well be one of the reasons that I don't open up to more people. I think it would be very embarrassing for me to admit to anyone that I have no friends, or at the very least, I would (actually already do) feel like a weirdo- and I don't like being the center of attention, especially in a "negative" way.
