Something interesting

[BlancaLap]

Don't you feel like with some people you are able to tell what bothers you but when other ask you if is everything alright you get defensive (actuar a la defensiva).
For example, with some people I can tell what happened to me without any problem, but if my mother asks me if everything is all right I get defensive, it's like even if I think about it all the time, when it comes to talk with people about it, it's like I deny it, like I try to deny that something bad is actually happening, so when people wanna talk about it, I don't; but when I want to complain about what bothers me, I don't have any problem. Well, at least it used to be that way. Can someone relate?

I feel that sometimes,

Opening up to someone should be your choice.

I sometimes feel I am being questioned out of curiosity or something, it makes me defensive too and I give some bland answer and change topic.

i can relate, too.  it feels like some people are asking because they're intrusive, like they're checking up on me.  those are the ones i feel defensive toward.
