Yep, I feel this way alot, Place. I do have someone in my life who holds me up, and when I am down, lifts me right back up again. Still, I know the feeling of being vulnerable. I have put my feelings out there too many times and been met with hurt and disappointment. It doesn't pay to open up too much. Since being back here, I even have a hard time posting any of my personal issues. I wrote a post in relationships about a friend, but I deleted it a few minutes later. I hate feeling vulnerable.
