I have issues expressing how I feel when I love someone. I'm not sure what it is. I really feel like, if someone gets to know me, they won't love me anymore. I know it's weird, and I'm always telling people to be themselves, but I just have trouble with it. Do you have any tips for expressing yourself? I just hate confrontation and arguing.

You are not the only one who feels that when people get too close and discover the "real you," they will not like it. Many have this feeling, probably because we know deep down that we are not perfect, far from perfect in fact. We do our best, but we know our failings and shortcomings.
