Quote: Crash10Oh this happened with me at school, and it made me feel really uncomfortable, so I know how it is. People are talking for me for the first time and already questioning about my private life. That's really annoying because I don't have the courage to say how I feel uncomfortable by that.
And they always try to find a way to put their past experiences into it so that you feel bad and want to keep being their friend. Not even out of mutual care for each other or anything like that, but just because you'd feel guilty cutting them off because they're lonely and they've told you their life story. It may sound insensitive, but it genuinely feels like guilt tripping. I try to help people even if I don't know them, and I know that everybody has suffered to some degree, even if some have more than others. But to tell someone right off the bat when you're talking to them for the first time just seems like a way of saying 'feel sorry for me and be my friend'. As I said, I'm not against being friends with new people, it just comes off to me as manipulation, and of course I don't want to be dragged into it.
It makes me want to pull my hair out.

Right. They also try to make you guilty if you don't talk about your personal life by saying things like "So, don't you trust me? I tough we where friends". My last-plan solution is simply stop caring about that person and say the truth.
5char too.
