I'm talking about someone else to someone that I'm friends with, right?

Again, it's not even necessarily talking shit, but maybe just talking about someone else, okay?

In a vulnerable way for like...

Yeah, it's not even in a gossipy way.

It's just in like a, I'm sharing information about somebody else to my friend, right?

That is what ends up making me anxious.

I don't really care about stories that I tell about myself.

That doesn't really bother me.

It's more like, oh shit, I told this person about, I gave this person information about somebody else.

Now I'm uncomfortable because they know this thing about somebody else and I don't want them to like hurt this person, if that makes sense.

That's usually what ends up triggering my anxiety and making me afraid.

And so you know what I've had to learn over the years?

I really shouldn't do that.

And I still am working on that.

Like, it's like, we learn what our boundaries are, what we feel comfortable with, what's okay with us, you know, over the years.

And I'm still working on figuring out what I'm comfortable with sharing with friends.

deep down knowing that at some point we might not be friends anymore.

And information that we shared in private and in confidence and in a safe environment might not be safe forever, you know?

But it's tough because, yeah, you don't know what they're going to do with it.

You don't know.
