I’m a bit confused, mainly because I’ve never been told this before. I once was trying to talk to someone I met, and asked them questions about themselves to get to know them.

After a while, they just said, “You don’t have to do this, you know. I’m fine with being silent.”

How would you respond to this? I don’t really know the implications or anything.

    Okay, thank you! We said a bit more later and they asked me “Is there anything you’ve never told anyone because people would laugh at you?” That one thing they said just kinda confused me

      They were opening up about themselves, not implying something about you.

      People who actually listen are rare.
