Guarded?

I know that I'm a really guarded person. I do it to protect myself from getting hurt, but sometimes I wonder if its the right choice. i was wondering if anyone else felt this way?
Is it better to get hurt, or to never let anyone in?

Well each time i have gaurded my heart i have regretted it majorly.... like they say it is better to have loved and lost than to ever love at all...

It depends why you have your guard up. if it's up when you are looking for love then you are missing out. if you are going into a situation like having to go to work in a really really bad enviorment then yeah I think it's ok to have your guard up.

I've felt this way before and still do sometimes.
But everyone finally realizes that in life, you can't escape pain, it comes all the time. It's always better to love with your whole heart than to be guarded and secure where you can never feel that real meaning of love if you are that way.

I keep getting worse....people keep losing my trust...so i keep letting people in less and less. it's better not to do that. it's better to let people see all of you. it's just not a risk i want to take any more.

Yeah I agree, its better to let people see who you are for you. Dont hide or guard yourself coz it will end up backfiring sooner or later.
