Would your best friend still love you?

Would your best friend still love you if she knew the real you? I'm talking about the real life, flawed individual that we all hide in our hearts, not the shiny pretense that we show to our family and friends. Do you hide secrets that would drive her or him away if they found out?

I dont have a shinny pretense, i know that sounds hard to believe but i have lived alot of my life trying to have that shinny pretense and then i just gave up. There wasnt any sence in it because you do it and you think it is working but they all know that it is all a lie and they all know what you really are wether you think they do or not. So i dont hide anything and my family and friends do still love me, my best friend knew me better then i knew myself for a very long time. Finally i woke up and she was there to help me through it.

I had to give up my pretense when I became a mommy. It had just become too expensive to act like someone other than myself. Or, maybe I just transformed into a new more wonderful being. Maybe that's the real evolution. I loved your comments. Very truthful!

No, I think that I am a fairly easy person to read in that my face shows exactly what I am feeling most of the time...and I don't lie...it serves no useful purpose to me...I do believe in being tactful when I have to say something that is unpleasant though.... That ugly creature that you see before you...IS the real me....LMAO

I don't hide any secrets from my best friend. I believe that if she knew my whole story she would love me more than now. There are some things I have not told her from my childhood but that is not from fear of her not loving me it is just that I am not ready to talk about those things.
