People are never who they appear to be.People will hurt you and let you down. People live life for themselves. We are selfish, self-centered,vain, & careless. Some may be better at hiding it than others -but we all fall short. Yesterday I realized the reality of the human nature. We have such a built in defense mechanism. At the first sign of insult, in a matter of seconds we snap and lash out with a witty come-back. I don't believe anyone when they claim that words can never hurt them. Take it from someone who has been called every name you can think of. You may be really good at pretending ; but that doesn't mean they don't hurt.
I think that people try so hard to hide their feeling because they are so scared of others seeing them for who they really are. Behind the facade they put up, each person is hurting and broken inside- just like the next person. To be transparent is to be vulnerable. That means the potential of getting hurt. think that scares people more than anything. Including myself ; Lowering my walls in order to let people see me as the imperfect and flawed being I am, absolutely terrifies me.
