Sometimes when you have been hurt, it is so hard to let another person get close to you again. It is even harder for men to admit what is in our past that haunts us. It is not e reflection on the people around us, it is only a reflection of our own insecurities.
There are certain things that we want to bury and forget, even though that may not be what's best for us or our situation. We think that whatever is bothering us is so bad or unsettling that it will change the way somebody we care about will view us. So we keep it inside and don't really deal with it.
Hopefully your friend will realize that you are going to be there for him, no matter what. It just takes a while to open your eyes and realize that you have somebody special enough to trust in your life.
