Any sort of relationship of any kind with any human being, actually -- I
generally disregard first impressions and focus on getting to know the
inner person rather than somebody's crust. That having been said, I am
by nature a bit of an introvert, but I'm working on being more outgoing,
especially after watching a friend of mine become isolated by her fear
of, basically, everything. I do tend to trust people rather easily, and
sure I've been burned, but I figure it beats living my life in a lonely
shell.
