I relate to the 'inside messy me' part wholly. My best friend knows most of what I do, feel, etc., but not all. My 'not-in-the-best-friend-category' friend actually knows the 'inside messy me' more than anyone in my life. There's a mutual trust and respect that's just different than the closer relationships. And there's also enough distance in the like/love part that allows this trust and respect. Hard to explain I think, to be that trusting of someone that really is not in your 'inner circle', but it works.
Which, after a moment of proofreading, brings me to a question: For those that find it hard to put any trust out, why is that? I know that people who fear getting hurt or have had a trust betrayed, but other than that, what's the answer? I'm willing to bet that the very ones who fear trusting are some of the most trustworthy; that people come to THEM in complete trust and confidence.
