When your friend frequently mistakes you for someone who would judge them 😟

But I don’t judge them for that either, lol. I know they do that because they’re used to being judged by people and don’t have much experience talking to someone open-minded who won’t think less of them so easily. It makes me sad, but not for them not fully trusting me, but because their negative experiences with people have put fear in their minds where trust should be. All I can do is do my best to show them that they don’t have to be so guarded around me, at least. Even if they never overcome that, there are no hard feelings. I’m pretty insecure myself, but that’s one thing I can understand fully and never take personally.
