I don't like it when this happens...
I really appreciate how some people can tolerate my sharing be it good, bad or random. I must say, sometimes I do want to just place myself to be the one that listens, cause there are times I feel as if I do talk too much. I don't want it to be a one sided conversation where each time, roles are fixed. I talk and people listen? I usually find that quite rare. But for some people I'd wish it won't be so one-sided? Its always feels like I'm jotting the events that happened in my life on paper...when I talk to some people. Like a I'm reporting my day stating the events that happened in my life, how I've been and what I intend to do. Its strange to me that some friendships turn out like that. Its like here you know almost everything about me. I'm being transparent and as real as can be and I know nothing about your day or how things have been. Its almost becomes wrong for me to ask such questions. Or things get tense for some reason and some people become defensive. Why? I really don't understand. I share with you what happened and so I do what to know how things have been for you as well. Perhaps having expectations such as wanting to have a more edifying conversation might be demanding. Or maybe some people just don't choose to open up to me? Is it cause people don't trust me? If it is, then please do say so.
