being able to open up to others is a good thing and alot of people can't even do it. you are lucky to be able to do it, but you do have to be careful to who you are talking to because not everyone is trustable. you first have to test the waters about a person by asking the right questions etc.. if you see or hear any red flags going up, try to stay away, there are alot of good people out there that need you, but there are also bad people too. getting hurt is a risk we all have to take in getting to know each other and making friends. it doesn't hurt as much if you've been hurt if you do have someone to talk about your pain to. pick up the pieces and start over, you gave of yourself and hopefully they learned from you. you did leave your mark on them. you are a kind hearted soul, you may have to go through many heartaches before you find out your true friends, but it is worth it in the end.
