Nevertheless, it will be of no real use if it is to protect your image from one or more people that have hurt you in your past and the chances are fairly high that most of these people in your past are probably only bad memories.

Now it is time for the barrier building to stop and you may well find that in some cases barriers can even be lowered; if the defensive stance that you are taking is old, then you will find that the barrier should no longer have a constructive role to play in your everyday life.

You are probably now at the stage in your life where you are being over defensive for no valid reason at all, so try your best and relax for a little while. The shock of being treated properly by other people may be hard to accept at this time and its effect on you can be quite a severe experience for you. However, as you learn to let go of past worries, do not be bothered about it too much, it is quite safe for you to believe that these acts of genuine kindness are happening to you at this time. So take the offer of friendship that is before you now and lower your guard a bit, you will find that you will not regret it, as you now deserve a better life and a fresh break from the past.
