❓ Should we ask consent whenever we open up to others?
I think it’s perfectly fine to open up to people but if what we will share is quite heavy, I do think it is best to ask consent from the other person if he or she has the headspace to take your problem in. This is because whenever we open up to others, we share our stories and give them a piece of us that they will carry. Sometimes, our friends are not yet ready to carry that weight so it’s best to know their boundaries and continue to build safe spaces for everyone. This is also my point-of-view on romantic confessions but I’ve heard from a podcast episode once that romantic confessions are more for the person who confessed and not much for the person they confessed to. I think that’s also quite a unique perspective to look into.
