Now and for the last few years, I just don't do this anymore. Talking to those three friends is not really an option anymore and I don't do it with anyone else, even though I have friends who i've known for much longer. Bottling everything up is now natural to me and it is actually really difficult for me to open up to anybody, even when the opportunity presents itself.

I think thats why I am the kind of person I am, and by that I mean when I know or sense someone has something on their mind, I push them to talk about it. Because thats the only way I ever talk to anyone about anything. I could have someone in my life who meant the world to me and whom I trusted with my life and it would still take me a long time to change my ways. I would need pushing and not everybody does that.
