Yes.

But for the exact opposite reason. I could write an autobiography filled with every sordid detail of my past and spam it to all my friends, yet it wouldn't make a bit of difference. It's as if I understand the mechanics of "opening up" in the context of a relationship, but I'm missing some key ingredient. Consequently, my attempts at close, interpersonal relationships look like delicious chocolate chip cookies on the outside. Golden brown, still warm from the oven, the chocolate chips slightly melted so the rich brown glaze beautifully reflects the light of a nearby candle.
But they taste like bitter disappointment.
Hahahaha
