I wasn't really sure where to put this, and I didn't think it was all important to be in the Psychiatric Ward and all. But if it's in the wrong area, sorreh in advance. :)

Pretty much a majority of my life I've been confined to the one place I feel safe, which is my room. After eighth grade, a year of being made fun of for a ton of things that shouldn't even matter but did to them, I practically cut myself off from talking to people. I guess in a sense, I put myself into a shell. One extremely thick shell. Meh, to be honest I'm extremely antisocial and when it comes to talking to people, I'm usually the one that says the least. Or you could say my social skills are completely crap. A lack of years of talking to people has really practically destroyed me.

All in all, I have this stupid bubble that won't go away. I'm afraid of getting hurt, allowing people to use me, and all in all just being that person that people run to to mess with. I mean, the people are more mature and times change, but yeah. This isn't really asking for advice I guess :/ but, meh. How exactly do I/should I try to open up? and like... what do people talk about. :( like, I'm terrible at conversation. I'm good with giving my friends advice, but other than that I'm terrible at everything else.

I'm the same way, I'm always afraid of people getting inside my head and hurting me, a girl during the beggining of the year acted like we were friends but then she went around spreading rumors about me. My advice to you is to know who your real friends are.

Exactly. that's the thing, like if you allow people in, you're essentially allowing them the ability to hurt, manipulate, and abuse you. and that's one thing that I don't want to happen to me - nor is it anything I want to happen to people around me. Sure it's like inevitable sometimes, but sometimes it's hard to tell who your true friends are. :/

Gah. rumors are the worst, I swear. :/
