How people classify me
I always get this same response from people that currently know me. They tell me that when they first met me they were scared of me. I didn’t talk and seemed a bit distant and not very open. I am like a closed book and you have to turn the pages and read it from the beginning and not skip a page to understand.
Once they got to know me, they ended up really liking me. That’s of course if they spent the time and effort to do so. 
I guess I am a closed book where I don’t like people to know me at all and I rather be quiet and not be very talkative. Sometimes I think it is better, but my problem is that I rather be reserved and careful with what I am saying to certain people. Honestly, I don’t trust people that quickly. I think if I have to spend time trying to figure out some people, then they should do the same to me. If they talk too much about them selves, then I seriously loose interest and I know they talk too about others and eventually me.
It is hard to find good nice people to open up to. I think the greatest people I ever met are those who are willing to listen. I guess it is hard with the cyber galactic internet world, but my blog is more of an open book with missing chapters. And the missing chapters are what constitutes me in person. I guess these are the two missing pieces joined together to make the book of my life and thoughts.

If you think about it – if everyone started listening, who’d do the talking? The would would be a very silent place – and I bet you’d be ranting about in these very blog of yours!
P.S. Ignore the typos in the above comment. Haven’t had my coffee yet!
“I think the greatest people I ever met are those who are willing to listen.”
I couldn’t agree more.
That’s why I tend to like listening to people, – and I have been told I’m a good listener – hoping that I would get this favor back in return in my time of need, but I’m usually turned down. Now I only listen to the people who deserve, but even those, sometimes turn me down.
Sometimes its hard to find people to open up to and trust. Till this day, I haven’t found someone who can do it, and till I do so (if I ever do), my blog (and personal diary) will be the only things I open up to.
And I guess I’m gonna write about it now
And Sajid, Now no one listens, everybody talks, thats why the world is a freakin noisy place! We need some balance here!
I agree.. I love the balance.. If people listen first then their opinions would be more subjective and not a bunch of yapping without thinking or reasoning.
Some people talk a lot about themselves even from the first time you meet them. .and those i consider stupid and silly! I learned to keep a lot of what’s going with me to myself.. it was hard at the beginning, especially when I used to share everything with my friends.. though later on i realized that this only causes problems and headaches!
You got that ma ghairha friend of yours to open up to,I think she owes you listening sessions,endless ones..
I’m a bit like you, I don’t talk much about myself or about my problems, and I’m used to solving the problems of ppl around me..I’m like an iron shield they all come seeking my protection,and they’ve all long forgotten that even SuperI need the support of others at times..but I’ve got used to using my own shield on my own.
You know all this probably makes sense why I don’t have a blog..if I had one it’d have entries of single phrases, “Good Day” “Bad Day” ….”Cool Car/Gadget”
