What to do about feeling guilt over what I tell them?

ok so I have really great friends, but there are just somethings that I just don’t want to tell them but of course we are like really close and I feel as if I offend them if I don’t tell them certain things. what do I do about it and how do I not feel so guilty about what I am doing(not telling them things that is)

Answer #1

privacy is understandable, I mean, there are some thing I don’t tell to my closest friends… in the end I tell, but not until I’m ready. and I’m sure they don’t mean to try to pressure you into telling, that’s the last thing I would want my friends to feel.

Answer #2

as ty said you don’t need to tell them everything. whatever you feel comfortable with saying then you can but don’t feel guilty without telling them things especially if it doesn’t have to deal with them. You can keep things to yourself, you have every right to. you decided what to tell them not the other way around. :]

Answer #3

u can tell a true friends anything but a true friend will respect anything you decide to do

Answer #4

You don’t have to share everything with your friends. You’re required your own private thoughts and private life, your friends don’t need to know every tiny little detail about your life and what you do. You don’t have to tell them things unless you actually want to, you shouldn’t let them pressure you into telling things that you’re not ready or comfortable telling them. You also shouldn’t feel like you have to tell them all something (I’m assuming there’s more than one friend you’re talking about here). Some people you feel more comfortable telling them certain things than others, its good sometimes for one friend to know something about you that the others don’t and sometimes you want everyone to know, it just depends on what you want. You’re friends shouldn’t pressure you to tell them things. If you’re just now pulling away after always telling them everything, give them a warning, so their feelings don’t get hurt. It’s a lot harder to worry about a friend and not know what’s going on than to simply get a heads up about something going on. Don’t feel guilty about not telling them things. You are you’re own person, with your own thoughts, your own feelings, you are not required to always share things. Don’t feel guilty, they’re your friends, they’ll understand, if they don’t, give them some time, they’ll get used to it.

Answer #5

you dont have to tell them everything, even if you’ve been married to someone for 20 years they dont need to know EVERYTHING! you are allowed your private life… dont worry about it so much. tell them what you feel comfortable with and just dont bring up the rest… you only have to go as deep as you want…
