My guess - from knowing people with these personality types - is three at the most, but I'm leaning more toward two. I won't say which ones because that will undoubtedly offend someone's sensibilities. :)

I understand where you're coming from. I'm just making an observation that one shouldn't dive into unknown waters. As you already know, I'm very involved in rape recovery and prevention, and that is one thing you learn quickly. Never promise more than you can deliver. Trust is so expensive; it has to be earned, and it has to be nurtured. A huge responsibility.

I've noticed.

But, Jana, it's not healthy. You can't close yourself off emotionally because you're scared. You'll miss out on lovely friends you're not giving a chance to love you and all the fun - the laughter! - these people would share with you. Be suspicious, don't give away your heart for free, but don't deny yourself the possibility that someone is going to come along and be worth the risk.

Just consider the off-chance. That's all. :)
