I'm the same way Steven, I trust people pretty easily and I'm completely unable to stand up for myself, when I do, I feel like I 'snapped' or was 'being rude' and apologize :\ (it kind of annoys people when I do that :\ )
but I do end up pushing people away.. it's something a lot of guys don't understand even if i tell them about it.. if people try to move to close to me too fast, I tend to bundle up and hide somewhere for a bit :(
I've never heard of the fairies that pop up! I'd like to see one *nods*
(omg, I think I'm addicted to the knuffel adoption thing

I've got 13 now and really want the new wild-knuffel that came out now

)
