People always ask me why I'm nothing like an open book. In fact, people really hate me for not being a "sharer" and barely opening up.

This the catch: when I do open up to someone that I fully trust and somebody that I do genuinely believe will be understanding, immediately they just stay silent after an out pour or confession, and then proceed to ignore me or act like I'd never told them anything.

Then when I refuse to open up about anything else that's on my chest, they get heavily annoyed and say that if I don't trust them enough with my problems, then maybe we shouldn't even be friends. That's when my anger sometimes gets the best of me because I just coolly retort by pointing out their past behaviour or reaction to when I last opened up. Then they just get angry at me and call me a cold fish.

So therefore, people who do this, next time you tell a friend things like "You can tell me everything! I would never judge you..." do not go all 360 on them. Otherwise, next time? Just keep your mouth shut instead of causing your "friend" more grief than is necessary.

Oh, shit. I hate these fuckers too. So damn true. It's a catch-22, because when I don't share, they accuse me of being cold and distant, and when I do, they

I've considered lying (i.e. "no problems here"), but they also call me out on them. What can I do?!!!

People should just mind their own business and stop budding in. People always ask though...at least to 1) pretend they care or 2) they like drama (like watching reality TV). It's human nature.
