Stop the presses -- you're a Leatherbound!
Your tough exterior makes it especially hard to get a good read on your emotions. Instead of expressing how you feel, you prefer to keep things hidden away, tucked out of sight on the shelf. This strategy can keep your emotions safe and keep you from getting hurt. But it can also detract measurably from your personal relationships. Sharing your feelings strengthens friendships and creates intimacy in romantic relationships. Those who make themselves more difficult to read may find their personal relationships less satisfying. It can be very difficult for some people to open their emotions to others, but you should consider sharing just a few "chapters" that aren't too personal with a close friend. Dust off that old volume and open it up -- you might find that your friend responds in a very positive way.

Ruthie,
Thank you for seeing through my exterior to who it was that I had hidden inside.
Thanks!
