A couple of years ago I met someone I thought would be a nice friend and opened up to her a little bit. I noticed right away she enjoys hearing about the hardships of others. It made me uncomfortable. I continued to be friendly when I saw her but I closed off and never shared anything of significance with her ever again. I later realized she comes from an incredibly toxic family where there is a lot of abuse. I never quite figured out her role in that abusive family as I didn’t want to be close to her.
