Brain sharting ....

I'm a private person ....

When I tell a person something personal it feels like I'm giving part of myself away
a part of myself that I will never get back

Giving a part of myself a way for free...doesn't feel good ...it should be earned not just automatically giving ...

So I share less and less

I really hear you. I’ve been there too, pookie. Sharing so much, then feeling vulnerable afterward. It’s tough because you want to be open, but sometimes it leaves you feeling exposed.

I’m still learning how to protect those parts of myself while still finding ways to connect with others. Just know you’re not alone in this. It’s okay to take your time and guard your heart. 💙
