I don't either, for the same reasons -- if I want to change, I will make that change when the need arises. I think your goals are worthy aspirations, and I hope you achieve them! I'm much like you when it comes to putting up a wall when it comes to friends. I tend to keep to myself because I figure if you're not interested, then I won't bother you with the details -- it may be cynical, but very few people who ask me how I am, actually listen long enough beyond "I'm good/fine" -- I don't think they expect to hear anything different. But when someone tries their hardest to break through, despite all your attempts, I think they're worth keeping around.
