That or they FEAR you getting upset and avoid it

By that do you mean fragile, and allowing even the littlest things get to you? Well, yeah.

I'm usually the kind of guy who oftenexpresses myself as to how happy I am for how I've turned out, how happy I am for the friends I have and usually when I have something on my mind I would tend to share it with everybody, when it comes to my favorite interests or my favorite song that nobody knows I tend to let people know how I feel.
