Aries & Privacy

I'm really private about my life and personal space. Even when I get to a point where I feel that I trust someone enough to give up some of my privacy I end up feeling really anxious about it - even if it's someone I know I can trust and who's fully entrusted me with their personal/private stuff.

Is this a common Aries trait or just me?

Common.

Yes it is, I feel the same way about letting people in. I am very private, I have locks and codes on all my stuff. When I was younger I always had my door closed and my mom thought something was wrong with me and took me to a therapist but I was perfectly fine just need my space. Even when I do let people in they still feel that im secretive and too private.

I am private but I am only open with those I trust. People will only see the surface me unless I can trust them and that trust has to be earned.

Only those i know I can trust get to see 'inside' me or the best of me. Everyone else gets a tough nut to crack. I used to be really hard ass wih the outside me I showed everyone, but I guess with age I have learnt to add grace, humour, culture and class into the mix somewhere.

There are things my parents don't even know about me, things I've kept hidden my entire life. I've only found maybe 2 or 3 people I've ever been comfortable telling anything too and the closer I get to them the more nervous I become around them and constantly worried about what they now think of me... even if I know I can trust them, I still somehow don't. Leos seem to be the same way too, at least the one I know the best. He is completely different in public then private, really loud and always on stage, almost seems so that no one will question anything, but once you get to see the real him he becomes super calm and just talks, much more low-key.
