I tell different people different things. When I was newer with my best friend I was very honest with her. As we grew into this symbiotic mess, I started to feel she is to close to know everything about me. I still tell most things but many times I shave off the severity and the emotion. It feels weird now telling her sensitive stuff.

I had three online friends whom I shared a lot with, long term friends. I didn't share exactly the same stuff but I felt the info was in good hands. One of them died, one went offline due to a sort of life crisis and one isn't on much anymore.

I am still very grateful they chose to be close friends to me.

I have a newish friend who really overshares. I have told her it is usually not "normal" to do what she does, but I'm not normal so with me it is OK. But I don't think she understands totally that it is not the ideal to be able to share everything with everyone. She feels that is how all friendships should be. That you tell that person everything, and I mean everything.

I don't even feel honored being trusted like this. Not even when I looked for "soulmates" in a pre Internet era, when I wanted to talk about everything, I think I really meant everything. I think I just meant talking about deep stuff in general.

I've never been friendless. I have always managed to find interesting people and a selected few to talk about things with.
