"Okay, I have tried everything. I don't know what else to do. Its out of my hands now. I give up! If you know me really well, you know what I am talking about. If you dont know what I am talking about, I apologize for this being confusing. Its hard to spend time with someone when they dont try to spend time with you. It definitely makes things more

So I'm assuming that the problem is that you aren't opening up to some person, and that the first paragraph is from a journal post of that person talking about you.
I'm working from these assumptions, since you didn't really say, so if these assumptions are false, this advice will have to be disregarded.
You'll open up when you get around to it. That's it. If you're not opening up to this person, then it's because you don't want to, or they don't make you comfortable enough to open up. Or maybe you're just too scarred from the past.
We'll disregard the third option. It's a copout. It's bullshit. You haven't lived long enough to be beyond the point of no return. That point never comes.
That's really important. Don't copout. If you're fucking things up, admit it. Don't blame it on some past bullshit.
So, most likely this person doesn't quite meet you at the level that you need in order to open up. Don't fight it, don't force it. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. if you enjoy their company, then enjoy it. But if they can't deal with the facts, then it's time to move on.
Or, as a final option, you could be chickenshit. You could be scared to open up because you simply never have before.
Again, I'm not wise, I'm not sage. I've broken down the obvious, nothing that amazing. Figure out the source of your "shell," and figure it out from there.
One final thing, don't swear in all caps. It's vulgar. It's unnatractive. It makes me cringe. Chris does it too sometimes. if you're going to swear, just swear like a normal person. You should probably avoid that too, as much as possible. Some words should be saved for when they're truly warranted, so that they have more power when you use them.
It's like the first time you hear your dad swear. It frightens you. It completely informs you of the extent of the gravity of the situation. Save it for those situations. And make yourself one of those people that when you swear, people are caught completely off-gaurd, they don't know what to do or say. Swears are meant to be powerful, that's why they're so taboo.
And don't say "McB" anymore. Jonathan will work, or Commadore McBride. McB is what people called me in high-school, and I don't really like it. Only Forrester "The-Regular-Guy-Formally-Known-as-Shawn" P. Trumbo can call me McB, he's the only one who can pull it off and still make it sound cute.
Good luck,
Commaddor-in-Chief Jonathan A. McBride, SS 226
