Pros and Cons are the same as what's good or bad about something draco.

OK Fishie, why should I tell you whether I'm open or not, it's none of your business!(sarcasm) Just playing, but as you can see the harshness of this corrupted globe has molded me to guard my fragile heart from anyone and everyone. But I've had my fare share of slipped up secrets. So I've learned that somethings are just better kept to myself. My first lesson of this was when I told a good friend a family secret and the next day everyone knew, so that was the first layer of the shell that is me. Although, I do believe that the best way to live is in a happy medium, I just haven't quite developped that ability yet.

Being too guarded can cause you to miss out on gaining anyone else's trust because a lot of people must be in give/take relationships in order to really talk to anyone. So if you're not willing to share don't expect to hear anyone else. Being guarded does reduce that awful hurt feeling when some breaks that trust bond with you though.

Openess has its flaws too though especially when I think of dating someone who's really open. You can't really build a personal bridge to connect with them because everyone knows everything about them, there isn't that sense of "look, you mean something to me so I'm going to share something with you to show you that." I can't really think of a real pro for being an open person right now, because my head is elsewhere but I'm sure there is one.

TG sorry I'm late on a reply, I've had a busy week with having some people down staying at my place and such, if everything works out I should have it within the week.

Oh one last note, I'll be going MIA for about a two weeks and week from today. I'm going on a missions trip to help a camp in Bermuda. I don't think I'll get much computer time. No worries though, once I get back I'll tell you all how it went...that is if you want to hear it.
