I have a few people...friends..like that.

I'm usually open regarding my work or family.. And I don't mind when or if they ask.. I somehow manage to avoid getting into the topic directly or indirectly. After all I didn't say something because either IDK how to talk about it or I just do not want to talk about it.

But it is the drama they create.. Keep saying indirectly or go distant or even say directly that I'm not being open or get hurt. And some people assume many other things like "she's not sharing with *me*" ..

Honestly, it really is their headache. I can do nothing about it. I will still be a friend. Such people lack respect towards their so called friends. And friendship includes giving respect too. Such people need to deal with their egos and sense of values/principles first...

I love it when they ask me frankly and I say no and they say "you silent shy secretive bitch" and we just move on from it and still be the same close friends. Luckily all my close friends are like this. Thank God! ⤠I do tell everything eventually though..especially to my Gemini friend.

Yes, my gem best friend got mad because I didn't tell her how bad my lupus was hitting me. I didn't tell ANYONE simply because I didn't want to admit how much it worried myself, and even more so I didn't want to make others worry, especially since there wasn't anything anyone could do about it, but also because I've had other people, even some who were close, act like I was making the symptoms up as an excuse for not getting stuff done.

The virgo ex friend got super mad when I didn't tell her my divorce plans and she found out when my ex found out he was being divorced. I didn't tell very many at all about my plans: just my mom, and two close friends who were helping me, because if my ex and his family had found out I was divorcing they would have locked up the compound and made it so I couldn't leave, or take my kids and hide them so I couldn't have access to them, and the virgo had already made me suspicious about giving her info. Turns out my intuition was spot on about her because what she was spying for my ex and giving him info when I talked to her, plus she gave him the program to put spyware on my laptop (while I was planning my get away). The backstabbing and lack of loyalty from her knows no bounds (may the rest of her eternity be miserable and painful).

That's low. I hope she gets done the same way she did you.
