No. Is it really so hard to believe that I don't want people to know me? I don't want friends or attention because I really just don't want to deal with that shit? I'm perfectly happy being as I am, who I am, and doing that alone.
[Or with Aidan, or a select few people he let in, like Reid.]
I have no doubt in my mind you or anyone else might hurt me regardless. You'll probably leave at some point to, that hasn't stopped me. I already know no one likes me so that's nothing I worry about. I just don't want anyone close. It's bad enough as is.
[All this caring he has to do, it's hard work! Emotions confuse him okay? It's uncomfortable to like someone.]
