What is something you struggle with in relationships?

I struggle with not being communicated and shared with when I can tell perfectly well that something is wrong or off. Then told to not take it personal when trying to be their person.

I am tired of the lack of growth in relationships. The refusal of emotional support and the deeper bonding that comes with it. It doesn't mean I absorb their pain for them. It means I believe in them, support them and I'm there through thick and thin. It means, it's all good, it's all you, and that's what I'm here for.

But I haven't had the pleasure of reaching that level with anyone. Nor that I could of reached it before I grew myself.

Yet, I am bored of people's walls. Everywhere, the freaking walls. Not to be confused with boundaries which I respect. Walls like when people choose hidden emotions instead of understanding. I want the whole truth 🤷🏼‍♀ I hate the walls, much like sugar coating, its gross and it gives you diabeetus.

I struggle with having to communicate everything... every facial expression, every thought, the meaning behind every dislike, and having to keep the conversation going non-stop. And, then being accused of hiding something or something more nefarious when I shut down.

I am annoyed... yes annoyed... that having to communicate everything (EVERYTHING) is used as an indication of maturity and relationship growth. How about respecting my privacy?
@MarkPaul there should absolutely be boundaries for private time and thoughts. I'm sorry someone ever put all those expectations on you, that sounds extreme. Everyone needs some silence. Telling people you need space should be a normal thing.
