have a tendency to avoid others when I'm not in a great mood. Who wants to burden someone else? But I do wonder if that gives the wrong impression of me. If people only see me in a good mood do they think that's how I always am?
And then I think, do I want others to avoid me when they're down? Actually, I think those are the times you get to know someone best and grow closer. You get closer to deciphering the whole person. I would rather they shared those moments if they could. But it's easier to prescribe something to someone else than do it yourself.
It's a difficult habit to shake. I don't have to share everything but there's a better balance to be found between these extremes. A balance where everyone gets to know each other better. Just as I'd like to know someone better, I'd like them to see the whole me too.
I've always thought you need to find the right people but now I wonder if that's just an excuse to avoid being vulnerable. Maybe you'd have better relationships with most people if you were more open at the beginning rather than waiting to see if they are the right type of person.
As always, especially when it comes to deep/personal matters - to each their own :)
