I do. I do trust you and I do know that you're there for me no matter what. It's not that I don't want to, but it's just my nature to keep everything bottled up. I have many, many great friends that I know will stand by me and are willing to help me with my problems. But I do hate to complicate things.
Strangers aren't complicated, though. I can meet a completely random stranger and confide in him/her my deepest darkest secrets, knowing that they could never hurt me because I probably won't ever see them again. But confiding in my closest friends is difficult, impossible even. I know you must be thinking, "Oh, this girl must have horrible friends if she can't even share her darkest secrets with them."
See, that's where you're wrong.
I love my friends to death and I would hate to empty my baggage onto them. So by not telling them my secrets, I am actually protecting them. Thay won't have to feel sorry for me, like "Poor Leana, she has such a horrible life." I don't need anyone's pity.
It's just the way I am.
