Im rather open, but I omit what needs to be omitted. I like being open but there's a time for it.
What needs to be omitted? Why does it need to be omitted, you feel?

Well, I'll be honest. There are things I omit because until I trust them its better left unsaid. Life changing things that you only discuss after knowing someone for a long time.

I have been completely open - too much perhaps- and it was fine but I'm becoming more reserved with age. I'm 27. I just learned what to keep close to heart.

If asked, I'll tell. But I'm not forthcoming.




What's your situation and how do you behave with what you share? Can you give an example?

Thank you for sharing!

To put it simple, I go on a need to know basis. If you ask, you may get additional info, but I'm very good at changing the subject, or to gently push it onto the other person...resulting in them sharing instead.

The makings of a great psychiatrist I'm sure ha. Im guilty of the same. Answer a question with a question, and wow, this weather is so nice, yeah?


Maybe we just want the right person to open up to. Nothing wrong with it.

Thanks Happy Capper, I hope you are wrong too ! 😉
I do know that my ex cap and current one only opened up because they really loved me, and it was and is very obvious. I hope hope you really love him :-)
I'm sure the two of you will be fine!🙂 I really really love him and have done so for ages, but we're not a couple. Just very very good friends nowadays.

I've managed to do it to psychologists during job interviews. When they realised that they had spent half the interview time talking about their husband and kids, they were furious. lol

If I'm not able to open up to people I've known for 20+ years and that I trust, I have a hard time seeing how a new person would manage. Think It's more likely that I'll succeed with the "old" friends. But who knows.🙂
