I had a friend point out to me today (an ESFJ) that I am very open about all aspects of my life and at times it seems like I have a bit of diareah of the mouth. I agree fullheartedly with her, as I am a very honest person and if a person asks a question, I will try to be as thourough as possible as I have nothing to hide...
But she took this to mean as though I was sharing "intimate" thoughts with her as some of the topics included sex and other social tabboos. I was confused because never in those conversations did I ever feel intimate with her at all -- or feel connected to her in a way that would mean our friendship was a close one. I never said anything about how I was feeling about the things I was talking about, more of a transcript of past events.
Does anyone else have this problem of people thinking you are close friends or that you are too open of a person, when in reality you aren't close at all? Or feel that you are being too intimate?
