I always feel as though people are going to attack me and that I should cordon myself off from everybody, even becoming ashamed of things that I like and dislike, as they might not be what other people feel. I used to be much more defensive about this but recently I've let my guard down a bit. I started being more genuine and accepting myself a little and people have reciprocated positively. They may disagree with me sometimes but at least they respect that I feel how I feel and they definitely haven't wanted to hurt me because of who I am, it's been more circumstancial or something.
Why do you think that everyone is going to hurt you?
