The scariest point in my life thus far was the moment I realized that I was going to have to feign selfishness. That every time I laugh with friends and say “YOU know how conceited I am!” I would need to put an extra effort into my voice to make it sound like I truly mean it. Because the most intimidating thing to other people is the chance that someone in the same room might TRULY understand them. Understand their feeling. See the flicker of hidden offence in their eyes. Truly FEEL for them what they feel for themselves.
Always be wary of who you let open up to you – because there WILL be resentment later. People as individuals don’t want to be remembered at their worst, nor look in the eyes anyone who had ever seen it.
And when you really understand somebody; they will do everything in their power to misunderstand you.

I could say that the same crap happened to me and it made me not be able to trust anyone for a few years.
