[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 738772, member: 4152"] You are absolutely positively correct! People like myself (and maybe you ?) when we like someone or have known someone a long time, tend to be more open. This doesn’t always bode well. And if it causes any type of difficulty, a boundary here is likely wise. Something somewhat related...somewhat opposite: I actually think some people as almost a default set up this boundary. Almost arbitrary. They rarely ,if ever, let people into their private thoughts. I have one friend like this. I’ve known her 30 years. I know very little of her private thoughts. Little , if anything , of her fears / concerns. Knowing her very long allows me to take some guesses...but that’s all. Sometimes, I almost resent this. I find it creepy. I strongly suspect this is how she is with everyone, with the possible exception of her husband. I’m starting to clam up a bit with her even though she often relishes in MY stories, esp about our Difficult Child. Will our friendship survive? Time will tell. I’m actually doing this with two friends. This one and another. Different reasons and to different degrees. [/QUOTE]
