Transparency...How Much?

I'm generally a private person.

Not to be equated with being sneaky or deceitful. Just private.

On that same note, I am transparent in my honesty and often times the way I feel about a situation can be seen in my mannerisms.

Not only that but I express how I feel...at least when I'm ready. It's not like I will never talk about what might be going through my mind, I just don't want to be pushed to do so when I'm not ready.

That always has a bad ending, because then I'm resentful and feel like my personal freedom and privacy have been violated.

Should I have to share every thought that crosses my mind when asked? That can't be healthy. Some thoughts are fleeting and in between thoughts on the way to a conclusion.

So just how transparent should a relationship be?

  1. I understand completely! You know I get myself worked up over very miniscule things...Imagine if I felt the need to express everything I felt? It's not cool. I need time to work it out in my head, tell myself I'm trippin and go on with my business...

    And if I'm not trippin, I need to express myself in a way that actually makes sense and is not filled with exaggerated emotion.
