Talking about yourself

[Aquarius]

Depends on who I talk to, and in which context.

When meeting new people I put up walls, because the default icebreaker question in nowadays' conversations is one that I can only reply with putting myself into a defensive attitude. "What do you do for a living?" Well, the answer is "nothing", and I don't care, but others do, and so the conversation usually goes into that territory and makes me feel completely uncomfortable so that I would rather leave the room.

However, once I get over those initial problems and if the chemistry is good no and my opposite does not care about my answer, and does not put me into that depressing role that I'm not in (not being jobless is depressive, getting asked those questions is), I'm happily sharing a lot of things about myself.
There are one or two more embarrassing things, but recently I found a great approach:

If I don't meet someone's expectations, then it's their own problem, not mine.

So yep, I'm happily sharing, especially in therapy I can open up very well, sometimes I feel like I share a bit too much and the opposite gets bored or annoyed, and of course I don't want that

Once someone managed to make me unbuild my walls (not a lot of people can make me feel that comfortable), there's hardly any limit.
