We erect barriers through our lives, ways of self preservation, and depending on circumstance, more often than not for me, specifically overcoming those is very difficult. It takes time, patience on both your end and on the One that you are with. It has its challenges, trust me. The advice i would give in a public forum is that here, in this place, there are people that at some point have all felt nervous about speaking, or interacting with others. It takes time to work past those nerves and build the little push of confidence, that you can do this, and it is safe to be you. As far as letting the guard down and fall for everyone, my advice would be don't be quick to do so. Get to know people and find someone worthy of taking that leap with, go slow, and see what a beautiful gift it is for Y/you both to see those walls crumble.

Huggles and wishing you luck.
