relationships and me

A friend of long ago once wrote to me that I felt too deeply about people,relationships and would go through life getting hurt, often !

Is that 'me' still around 

or 

has moi hardened beyond redemption

 or 

do I pretend not to hurt under the guise of purported equanimity 

or 

have I figured that it is a squandering of emotional energy 

or 

I am in cognizant of the reality that there is a more often than not a mismatch between what each expects,so why bother 

or 

my brain has addled.....

Whatever it is...my alter ego has decreed that most are not worthy to bare my soul to. I intend to obey!
