Is it truly possible to make someone "a part of our life"?
Do you think it's possible to have someone know you, inside and out.. and to have them around your whole life? Other than family.. do you think someone can truly become a "part" of your life, or do you think we'll always be "strangers" on some kind of level.. is it possible to know everything about someone?
What does it take to make someone a part of your life? How come some people let people in their life quite fast and others create these walls around them that maybe no one will ever overcome?

Yes.....
You would do that much for a dog or cat.......or parakeet.....Right?
What does it take?......Not much
Empathy and a mutual desire to survive in a similar world
while not having unrealistic expectations of each other
The trick ......is the "expectation" thing
that's where it usually goes wrong....or doesn't happen at all
As far as walls.....some people get pushed too far
It is easier for them to hide
Ever feel that way?
You have to be a wall climber if you want to be their friends
The rest.....is the same as anyone

It depends on the persons Vera. What they want,who they are,and where they are going in life.
Yes meant to be's will always be the love is true as well steadfast. They hold on to each other no matter the trials and tribulations,these relationships are rare. They easily become part of you with no thought to it,it just is,naturally.
Walls are created by negativity,interference of others,weak minds,yada,yada,yada,many can be healed,with love,some cannot but true love makes the effort and never lets go.
As well when there is to much resistance the person is saying it is not right for me,and life goes on. They are not the one for you,they do not have what you seek to heal you nor break down the walls. Perhaps both have issues that need resolving.

I don't know if that's entirely possible. I mean, the majority of people don't even know themselves inside and out so how are we expected to connect with someone else on that level? Also, there is that lingering fear inside of us we experience everytime we don't want to be judged by society for committing certain acts. I think that feeling prevents us from truly exploring who we are and consequently we will always have some sort of walls up.
It also depends on personality. Some people are very open and fluid - they enjoy revealing themselves to anyone, not just their friends or family. Others are naturally cautious and don't portray their emotions as easily.
I think trust is the first step to make someone part of your life. The second is acceptance, and the third is love. In order to communicate and make friends, you have to trust them in about anything. Then by accepting their personality you are reaching a deeper level of communication. Finally there is love.
To answer your last question, I think it depends on how you are as a person and the environment you were raised in. For instance, I have a friend who was raised by very open parents and as a result she is bubbly and accepting. Then, there is me. I was raised by conservative parents who didn't display their love very openly. So, I am more quiet and cautious at first but I warm up. There is that expression about people who wear their hearts on their sleeves. That describes the warm type of person.
Good question.

I believe that often times, we can be strangers to ourselves. We don't even know ourselves inside and out. Knowing and believing are two very different things that are often confused. It's all about perception. We may believe we are a "good" person, but to someone else they might believe otherwise. Not only this, our subconscious influences our daily lives in ways that we don't even realize. If we don't realize this, how can anybody else? Still, I believe that even someone we haven't talked to is part of our life, if you want to look at it in that way. But that's just my take on the matter, which again, comes back to perceiving. If you believe you know someone inside and out, chances are that person does play a large role in your life.
As for what it takes to make someone a part of your life? That's another very difficult question, and I don't believe there is a right or wrong answer. People who create emotional barriers around themselves are afraid of something. Likely, afraid of being hurt, being rejected, loosing something, not being in control, etc. Love and Fear are the two most basic human emotions. People who shut others out, let fear govern their lives. People who are accepting and trusting, let love control their actions.

You have very deep thinking about human nature. Yes it is possible to make some one "a part of our life" provided we like him/her with the core of our heart and response from otherside is the same. we won't have any hidden thoughts which we wish not to let the other one know. To make some one part of our life there are few principals and necessities. One should be honest to other. one should be loyal. Love is the main feature of making some one a part of life. Love means Love not infatuation only. Age play the most valuable role. Teenager though like some one when come toknow that he is engaged with old man his all liking will vanish away. If we play fair we can know and tell everything about ourselves to others. But its true that the one time will do come when we feel strangers. For example Guy and girl having close relationship to the maximum extent will come down to strangers when the girl is married some where or when the girl come to know the guy is already married. We all have our limitations with regard to our understandings about our relationship. With the time span we become strangers. You know wife and husband though married also become strangers with the elapsed time and increased age." Yes we can make some one part of our life but time make us strangers." Thank you.

People already are a part of our lives. Everyone we know, everyone we follow or admire or love, they make up bits of our world. But the stronger your connection to a person and the willingness to be open with them is, they can become a very important person to you and change how you think, how you act, how you feel towards everything.
But you can't go around thinking "I want...I wish...", you just have to put it out of your mind for a while until it's already happened. And it happens only by allowing yourself to have no fears, no doubts, just going into someplace new with a completely blank slate and trying to be positive. The people we need most come around when we least expect them.

I'm not sure it is possible. Humans are such complex creatures and we have so many layers of idenity we're hesitant to reveal. Until telepathty is fully developed it probably is not possible because even individuals sometimes don't fully know themselves. I think the best we can hope for is someone honest enough to admit this to themselves and to their partncerityner. If there is a significant amount of trust, honesty and sincerity in your relationship then I don't think it should be an issue.

It is possible. Sometimes families don't even know everything about eachother, especially in the modern day where both parents work full time and kids are constantly out doing activities (Daycare, Sports, Clubs, Etc.). Deep down most people aren't comfortable with themselves, and people rarely share things that they're uncomfortable about.

it depends on how open one is, or can be, with another person. if we truly believe in a relationship as a whole entity, we share everything with our significant other. in sharing everything, they become a part of our lives. withholding certain facts, ignoring others means we don't truly trust that other person enough to make them a complete part of our lives. as far as why that happens, i doubt that there is any rhyme or reason to it other than each of us has our own way of managing a relationship, so some share all, some share some, and some sadly share only a little piece of themselves.
