I understand your position completely. I'm pretty introverted, not as much as my closet male friend, but I am introverted. I have lots of acquaintances, and only a select group of close friends I trust with my heart.
Some of my lack of trust comes more from those acquaintances that I thought were becoming friends, they just didn't measure up to my expectations. I think I'm a very giving person, and I don't expect much in return, but there are times when I need more and when I make a request of a friend, I expect them to step up to the plate and be as giving as I was to them when they were needing.
Maybe my expectations are too high, maybe they just aren't as well suited for me as I thought they'd be. Sometimes it seems easier to have internet friends that I never meet, then it is to have friends that I can go and see.
