Will the real Sean C. please stand up...

In the past week I have come to realize that I am not sure anyone truly knows who I am. This theory is being grown from a single seed of insecurity that possibly I did not properly let my friend see who I am and that as a result, we are in the situation we have been in at the moment.

I begin to wonder if I keep myself so armoured from others that I give them a false impression of myself. This false impression then leads to misunderstandings and disappointment. These issuers then lead to the pain I am feeling now.

What can I do to become more open without losing the edge that makes me me? Do I need to change who I am or am I simply in a twist of fate moment that has made me start to question every fiber of my being? Can anyone help me out with this one...
