It seems people close to me really trust me...

Yet i never tell them anything that happens to me... is this bad? not being able to open to the people close to me? its not that i don't trust them, its just that i just can't tell them about my life and what happens to me...

Its normal. Most people are very trusting. People are like that with me, but i usually dont tell them about anything about any of my issues unless its beyond my handling.

Normal. I never open up to anyone and have people spilling their freaking crap on me that I don't want to hear.

No, I don't want to hear about how you don't like some dude because he's a total dickweed but always find yourself making out with him, you're not even my friend. No, I don't want to hear about how your girlfriend is a slut who broke your heart, we don't even freaking talk.

I had people spilling their guts out to me who I hardly even freaking talk to at all. Freaking flies during school, I swear. Following me around and trying to make small talk, GET AWAY CAN'T YOU SEE I'M ENJOYING MY LUNCH PERIOD PLAYING MY FUCKING GAMEBOY ADVANCE!?!

I have always heard the exact opposite, that people these days are far LESS trusting than usual, and that most people (in the US at least, I would assume similar trends for other developed countries) have exactly 0 people they could trust if they were in a bad situation and desperately needed a confidant.

Very much this..... Mostly the part about playing GBA. I don't know why eveyone thinks the quiet people are their secret diaries

Hmm, must be age dependent on how much trust is spent.

Close friends can talk to me like I'm a journal, and I'll actually give helpful feedback the majority of the time. When I'm busy, or stressed, they know when not to talk to me, because I'll bluntly say "Get away from me." or "Go away, I'm sorta pissy". But I've been known to be blunt -shrugs-. I don't talk about my problems all the time though, only to close friends I trust.

The thing is, even though it annoys me to some degree, i end up being something like a journal/ love counselor to people anyways, and i can't really tell people "you know, i don't care" since well... I try not to be a douche...

God knows how many relationships I've fixd... and i can't get one myself ._.;

you sound exactly like me a few years ago when i had friends still, how lonely the road of a sage can be...

A sage? o.o I'm i going to be a sage? woot i get to cast bio!

Same with me, but i open up when i need to. Venting is about the most helpful thing in a stress relief situation. And if you can manage that with someone you trust dearly, it makes it better. It's weird actually. I always seem to be the one helping everyone else. My friends swarm to me for advice and all that sort of stuff when they need it. I appreciate that, but sometimes they come to me with stuff that i really have no idea how to deal with (i.e. giving advice about relationships when you haven't had any yourself), but i always try to be helpful. It's hard, but I'm hoping it pays off one day

Optimism is always better, except when it's not appreciated

Its not bad unless you think it is. The only thing that matters is that you feel ok with yourself.
As for not beign able to open to people close to you, maybe its not even your fault, most people just fail to get their own answers to their trival problems so they must talk and talk and talk it out until theyre tired. If your close friends are girls, you couldnt expect something different, most of them really like to talk. But thats not a 'girl-only' problem, guys do that often aswell. I mean, everyone has problems.

If you dont enjoy listening to your friends there are nice ways to avoid certain topics but everyones diffrerent so I cant tell you wath to say or not, you must find out on your own.

Also, theres always someone that would love to listen to what you have to say. You just have to wait until you meet someone like that. You could even try talking about yourself with the close friends you have already.
Dont forget friends and girlfriends or boyfriends are very different, eventhough youre supposed to trust them both. I mean you can talk with your friends about anything you want, what you like about girls, what you dont like about your girlfriend. <That you cant do with your girlfriend, unless you already know each other for a while and trust each other enough.

Last night a friend (a girl) asked me why i would never tell my stuff to her or my friends... i couldn't really answer, besides "I can't"... I don't feel compeled to explaining anything, and it seems I'm unable to too, since every time someone asks i just shut in about the subject.

I guess that happens when 80% of your life's friendships were women i guess...
