Do you also regret opening up to others
Lately, I’ve been feeling really off about my friendships. When I’m going through something, I open up honestly and share what’s happening in my life. But when I ask them the same things, I barely get anything back—just “I’m fine” or very surface-level answers.
It makes the whole bond feel one-sided, like I’m the only one putting in emotional effort. What bothers me even more is that they know so much about me, while I barely know anything about what’s going on with them. It’s starting to feel less like a mutual friendship and more like my privacy is being exposed without that same level of trust in return.
I don’t understand why someone would ask me personal questions if they’re not willing to be real themselves. Over time, it’s making me regret opening up, and I can feel myself slowly pulling back and putting up walls—not because I want to, but because it doesn’t feel fair or genuine anymore.
