I’ve been wanting to have a serious talk with a friend about something that happened to me and that, I think, had an influence on both of us as well as on our relationship.
I am not used at all to talk about very personnal things; it makes me feel very nervous and vulnerable + I am always scared I will sound melodramatic.
We live and work together and it’s weird for me to spend a great day with him and, at the end of the day, start telling him about something really serious that is not at all linked to what happened on that day. I also hate talking about after a long of work. On the other end, when we go out for the weekend, at the beach or something, I don’t want to waste the weekend by talking about something serious (even if it’s not something bad).
I know it’s kind of a stupid problem, I guess the solution is easier than I feel, but I do feel stuck. I don’t know how to start and I don’t know when to start.
