Blue Book 13

-I am becoming a better person.
-I need to be more open with people, especially those I trust.
-I want the things I do to have purpose.  They are thoughtless actions otherwise.
-I need to actively think about and practice communicating so it becomes habit.
-I need to actively think about and practice telling the truth to break my habits.
-I need to slow down and think before I act.
-I am destroying my facades so I can just be me.

Getting close to anyone hurts from time to time.  Keeping people at a distance to lessen that hurt only keeps you from connecting and communicating with them.
-Sometimes it is good to hold some people at arms' length.  Sometimes doesn't translate to all the time, though, and some people doesn't translate to all people.

Don't be afraid to ask someone when you're unsure about something.  Most people would rather have everything out in the open.  Just because you're worried about offending them doesn't mean they'll be offended.  This is part of communicating.  Asking others about the situations only makes the original person feel apprehensive and makes the matter more convoluted.
