There’s nothing wrong with you. You have your reasons for being secretive and I’m not judging. Nope, I don't think you're being over dramatic. I think there's something to be said about having people earn your trust, and keeping certain details of your life like exotic gems. Here’s my opinions. (I can't keep my answers short for the life of me lol).
I’d like to share this reel with you and then answer.
I’ve been told I’m mysterious and "secretive" too. I don’t talk about my multiple things or my “ business moves” I make. I show results. There’s something to be said about waiting for the ink to dry and not sharing everything with everyone. Maybe you felt comfortable enough with that person when you shared in that first mode of yours. Remember when I mentioned in one of your comments sections in that one article that I meet people where they are at? Same situation here. You can reveal as much or as little as you want, I would have to earn that trust like anyone else. If you didn't want to tell me nothing and you want to be in your second mode with me, that's ok. I would respect your choice.
Anyways.
I was around a lot of haters (and went to school with a lot of them). They didn’t want to see me be successful. They didn’t have my best interest at heart. They prayed for my downfall. They laughed in my face, but back stabbed me behind my back. Why tell jealous haters your plans, so they can shoot it and you down? I cut myself off from my past and haven’t looked back.
Now days, won’t lie. I’ve been on the downlow on a lot of people-less Instagram stories, less Facebook posts (both past and present) and more boundaries. They don’t deserve access to me like that. Instead of freely allowing access to people that don’t deserve it, they wonder. Too much comparison, envy and keeping up with the joneses type energy nowadays. I’m over the dumb shit. And being happy doesn’t mean I have it all, it’s being grateful for what I have, and not being jealous of others! Why invite that negative energy into your situation? People can’t hate on what they don’t know about, and if I do post about it? It’s wayyy after the fact.
On the other hand, when people have earned that sacred offering and trust, I may reveal some things some of the time-But I don’t broadcast it until I’m really sure.
I love this! I think you should open that book up right where you wrote it...your old apartment. Knock on that new neighbor guys' door and be like, "I know this is totally weird but I want to go to the room where I wrote my book and show the room what *we* created." Extra points to be listening to Superbloom by Misterwives or whatever song makes you feel vindicated/badass/gentle/vulnerable/whatever feeling creating this book gave you.
Hey, it’s been a while. Happy 2025! :D
