Distance is complicated but it all depends on certain people. If you can cope with it, then you're fine.
Distancing yourself from people is okay but if you frequently do it, you have to expect that people will come and go in your life. Mostly they will leave because of what you did.
Don't let your mind guarded your heart and your thoughts from feeling the way it is. Fight the feeling because sometimes non of the feelings are true. Life is a war. You have to get ready of what is coming. You should open up a little bit. Don't let your inner thoughts sink you in because when you do, no one will help. Remember, you push everyone aside. Who is going to save you after all?
I know it's hard to find answers when the questions won't come out.
