I certainly don’t see you in that way. But I wonder who called you those things growing up because it’s often an echo of our past when we feel those things about ourselves. I speak from experience here.

I agree with Azul. If people thought you were weird or stupid why would they confide in you? Most people have to feel a bond or a rapport with someone to open up to them.

I also agree if people don’t respect our boundaries (or we don’t make them clear) it can be exhausting.
