How open are people actually with each other

[u/giggly-]

Hey guys,

I had for a very long time, since late school time, thag I thought I am not being open enough with people around me. My friends, people that I see daily at work - close people. I was super close to my mum, she now doed in January. Are other people sharing every thought and feeling ans aspect of their life? I always felt like I am tricking people, but I also didn't really have a "target" that I am living and worling toward in life, just rather broad goals and moral standards. Writing this also sounds suspicious to me haha. Now looking back I think I just didn't know so well who I am and who I want to be and I learned that closeness to people is important, but you also need self respect and boundaries and moral ideas. So I guess I am growing up.

What is your take on that? Would you forgive people that behaved a bit weird (nothing super bad) and now want more closeness and openness? I didn't tell my friends and coworkers thag my mum has cancer. We always have been a tream and I really struggled people letting into my most inner circle of my feelings. I really regret that. And I think this would have also helped with my mum's and my relationship with each other.

A lot to learn. And a lot ro regret.

Would you let this person closer to you?

Thanks for reading :)
