That's the thing about Tara, Buffy feels oddly comfortable opening up to her, where for some reason she doesn't with others. Which is probably why, after a sigh, and a half-hearted bite of a cookie, she answers.

"I don't even know where to start. I've been here for over a year, Tara. I've lost... so many people." She's silent for a second, working out how to word her feelings. "It's gotten to the point where I'm scared to even get close to people, because I'm so terrified they'll leave."
