I realise I did that because it's easy; that kind of person won't disagree with you or talk about big things. You know, I've never shown my art or myself in years, even.
I feel like I've turned back lots of good people. I can say that I've had trauma and disappointments and everything, but at some point, I chose not to get over that and let only very shallow people in.
Thank you for worrying. Basically, I've had a huge realisation. It occurred to me that I have too many walls, fronts and defense mechanisms and show a very pale image of myself, and that's why I attract the wrong people. It was a vicious cycle.
