Had a very intense chat with my treasured friend, X, who scr*wed up some sort of a almost perfect relationship.
The blame was put on "Protectionism".
It causes people to be skeptical, and to 2nd-guess each other's intention which could have been true&sincere. Then u put up that defensive mechanism to deflect the "maybe bad intention". If that person was totally genuine, in singlish is, "you end up kena-bang."
People play mind-games with each other, and subconciously with themselves. This got us thinking about life, friendships, the works; and how things would be much easier if we were to take everything at face value.
But then we argue, what if we get hurt?
i say, " if we don't experience hurt, we wouldn't discover happiness."
what do u say?
