I am single, and looking for a relationship. I hate the fact that I am alone at my age. Aging is scary enough by iteself, but when you do it alone, it becomes even more frightening. I have never been good at opening up to other people. I was always told that showing emotions was unacceptable. Unfortunately, I am an emotional person, so this really doesn't work for me. I guess I confused emotions with vulnerability. I don't like feeling vulnerable. So I hide who I am to most people, and put on a front of great strength. I never knew that the people I love the most, could see right through it. Even people I just meet can figure it out pretty easily. So what's the point in hiding? Right?
