Step 5: never open up to a human again

[โ€“] Serra@feddit.de 0 points 6 months ago

Tbh being open mostly works out for me.

There have been some bad situations and there are definitely persons where I am afraid to open up too much and therefore don't do it.

But I like to give people an "Vertrauensvorschuss" (Not sure how to say this in English). Basically I am giving them my trust until they prove not worth it it.

Of course this depends on whether you can afford this or not.

But overall I feel like this improved my relationship with people.
