MH - Love
The baseline of all these walls is fear. A multitude of fears for that matter. All of it being a subconscious pull to become more withdrawn instead of open. Fear of rejection, fear of hurting someone or fear of being hurt myself.
I know a mate when I feel it. When the energy is there and we have the same wavelength. It's a matter of having the courage to be assertive. Otherwise it's just going to be one missed opportunity after another....And more heartbreak on top of that.
