I met a girl I thought I could be completely open with. We became great friends and she saw more and more of the real me and we got closer and closer. Eventually we started dating and fell deeply in love, and I opened up to her more than anyone else.
I was still holding back my deepest insecurities and fears, though, and when those finally surfaced, she began to back away from what she saw, and eventually dumped me and broke my heart. I sometimes wonder if I can ever open up to anyone else, because it seems the real me has driven away the one girl I've ever loved.
Sorry to be gloomy, but that's my experience.
