Thanks to everyone who replied.
It's not that don't trust anyone. Rather, my parents tell me I trust too easily.
I don't hide my problems from others to protect myself from them. It's so that I don't have to listen to myself say things I don't want to hear about myself.
I know people genuinely want to help me.
I think I unintentionally hurt others by invalidating their concern for me.
My sister got really frustrated with me for telling her to leave me alone.
There was also one night I was drunk and crying with one of my co-workers. Despite my display of emotion, I still had my walls up. I felt bad when I kept refusing my co-worker's offer to listen to what was wrong.
My parents tell me I need to be more open with them too.
It makes me sad.
I don't say things unless people pry.
I can't expect everyone to keep caring if I push them away.
I hate myself.
