People come to me and spill out their secrets, show me their "shadow side," trauma dump on me and then start acting suspicious, weird, and even hostile around me because now I know too much about them

I mean... they're super inconsiderate and don't even ask if I have time for them... I nod and reassure them now and then out of politeness and keep listening to them not to come across as rude.

Days later they suddenly start acting defensive, weird, and avoidant, because now I know their 'secrets' and 'weaknesses.'

This has happened to me since early childhood. Do you relate?
