idk if it’s the mental illness but sharing literally any information feels like oversharing. i’ll be like “i skipped breakfast this morning” and immediately im like “i might as well have told them where i buried the money”

#‘’authenticity felt like putting your vulnerabilities on display’’ 💀💀💀#oof why did that last part hit so harddd #I mean yes I got teased a lot as a kid being in a big family will do that do you but #idk I never willingly share anything about myself unless specifically asked and it always shocks me when people #actually want to know about me and ask questions; and I mean in a genuinely curious ‘I like you and find you interesting in a positive way’#because there’s nothing I dislike more than a nosy person being up in my business for no good reason #idk it’s just something I’ve heard a lot in my life; ‘’you’re a mystery’’ and maybe it really is a self-preservation thing #you know i think it is; I’ve always been highly emotionally since I was a kid and I’ve had to majorly compensate for that as an adult #I’m very high in personality trait neuroticism (90th+ percentile) and maybe that really does translate authenticity into being #a dangerous display of vulnerability that can potentially be taken advantage of; explains a lot #just me live journaling in the tags 💀 ugh #it’s not as bad getting older because I’ve grown to not care what people think of me as much but it’s smthin I still struggle with I guess
