Really long story short: I don't trust people. I've tried opening my heart to others and it's never worked out for me. Sometimes it was my fault, but most of the time it wasn't. I just chose the wrong people too many times. And I think the best thing for me and others is to be by myself, since I'm the only one I can trust besides my parents.
I also can't afford therapy and don't really want it. So I'm looking for books that might be able to offer genuine insight to those who choose to live this life alone and closed off, but who also want to be happy and fulfilled while in that state.
