Sharing Who I Am

I want… a safe place with a person. I want someone to share all of my secrets, fears, inhibitions and aspirations with. I have that in a couple of my girlfriends, but I want that in my significant other… What I have previously done in my relationships is keep all that to myself. I’m just too shy to share it. As a result, I end up being in relationships with strangers – that is, we never get past the preliminary likes/dislikes, values, etc. Relationships like this are unfulfilling and short-lived.
