It would need to be a conversation however, not an assumption on which parts to focus on.

So as this is running through my mind, and the privacy/boundary statement comes up afterwards, the privacy part stands out because it was the last thing said and I forgot what flashed in my mind in the first half. The looking away for me is mentally rewinding to the beginning of what you said. Or maybe she was afraid of how she was coming across, like if she was probing too much. Looking away could have been checking in with herself about that. Not saying she experienced all of this, but just other perspectives
I'll be honest. When I saw her reaction my first thought was that she thought I have weird thoughts. Basically it made me feel as if my thoughts were a bad thing. I guess I could be wrong.
