reminder that just because people trust you and feel comfortable enough to share their problems and life with you, you are not obligated to do the same. just because you listen to people talk about their life, you are not obligated to talk back. if any friend of yours tell you otherwise or expect you to do so, they are not your real friend. friendship is NOT a mandatory exchange. friendship is about trust and not everyone trust at the same rate in a relationship. never let others make you feel bad for being secretive about your life and problems. never let others force and pressure you to tell them anything. you are valid the way you qre and you will make friends that will understand and respect those parts of you. pinky promise.
