that talks about everything she thinks about.

I don’t usually share when I like someone.

I don’t like talking about the boys I like with people.

I don’t talk obsessively about myself and my problems.

I don’t like it when the attention is on me and my thoughts.

I prefer to help other people with their problems.

I like to be the listening ear.

And I hate it when people force me to open up about certain things.

I used to be that way. I would spill my issues, thoughts, and drama on anyone who would listen.

And I began to annoy myself, and I saw how self centered I was becoming.

So I stopped.

If I was annoying myself, there’s no way I wasn’t annoying everyone else too.

I hate attention when I don’t want it focused on me.

I’ve become a master of deflection and avoidance.

I just like being the withdrawn me.

There are few who can really get to know me. The real me.
