Then in dating i see ppl r afraid to open up. As others have mentioned they need to get to know u before they expose that side. For me im open i wear my heart on my sleeve im not afraid but for others they prefer not to even go there to be vulnerable. Take beauty and the beast for example he was once a handsome prince turned into a mean beast but bell later helped him love again. There was a good person deep down inside of there. It just took the right oerson to bring it out. Or even scrooge too. Pll put up this false image to protect whats on the inside. Why not just love freely?

Take this for what it's worth, it may or may not apply to you but I think Greene wrote it best when it he wrote this:

"Self-consciousness— being aware of yourself and taking control of your appearance and emotions. The bad artist is the one who is always sincere . People who wear their hearts on their sleeves out in society are tiresome and embarrassing. Their sincerity notwithstanding, it is hard to take them seriously.

Those may bring out sympathy, but sympathy soon turns to scorn and irritation at their self-obsessiveness— they are trying to get attention, we feel, and a malicious part of us wants to deny them the satisfaction.

Self-awareness is controlling ourselves better to externalize emotion in a form that others can understand."

------

I've no idea where you stand on the expression scale, and you don't strike me as someone who is self-obsessed. But essentially one extreme reflects the other around the same core issue. People who put walls up vs people who leave it all out on the field.

Both sides attract each other and misunderstand one another.

It's just about timing, imo.

I know when I post on the internet, I personally just freetype my thoughts and no one ever really understands what I'm getting at so I'm in the same boat. It's very different when I write, re-draft or when I'm out meeting people in person (where I rarely talk).
