“NOW, BABY BROTHER, HOLD MY HAND WHILE WE CROSS THE STREET.”
“Thor, stop that. I’m an adult.”
“HOLD MY HAND, BROTHER.”
“I’m not your brother.”
“HOLD MY HAND.”
“Fine.

You want the truth? I don’t think you can handle it, but here it goes:
Recently, I’ve had people ask me why don’t I “let guys in to get to know me” and that I should “let down my guard” so that they can “get to know me”. The reason why I don’t let anyone in is because the last person that was invited, came in…tore up the place and gtfo. Life was never the same after, and it never will be…so I keep my guard up. To be honest, all I can do is move the eff on. But when you ask me why don’t I go try dating someone else? I guess the answer is pretty simple, I’m shy. I make friends on my own terms. I don’t do socializing with people very well. I’m awkward. I talk really softly. I don’t like to party. I hate the club scene. I keep to myself. I’m old-fashioned. I don’t do dating around with different people at the same time. Lastly, I’ve never been the girl that guys came running after. I was always the girl sitting alone at the table because everyone else had a date to slow dance with. I was and still am the girl that guys go to for advice to get at the super cute girl. I’m the girl that stands in the background. The girl that hooks you up with a friend. The girl who is by all means pretty, but isn’t pretty enough to capture your attention. Well, there you go. Reality at it’s finest. I hope this answers your question. Yes, I have low self-esteem but no, I will not put myself out there if I don’t feel confident or ready to do so. I’ve had guys tell me that low self-esteem is an ugly trait to have in a girl and is an extreme turn-off, well you know what? Eff you, because I’m not trying to satisfy you or live up to YOUR expectations. I can only be myself, accept it or not. I could care less because in the end of the day, I’m just being myself and that’s all I can do. So if you ask me why I have my guard up and why I let no one in, well…there. That’s your paragraph long reply.
