    Been there. I feel that stating your needs is often enough. Instead of explaining complicated and intimate thoughts/emotions tell the other person “I need some time for myself” or “I don’t want to speak about this topic” etc. … It strikes the balance between not making yourself vulnerable and setting boundaries.

    Self check: maybe I feel this way because I became more happy with myself lately. Therefore: if it doesn’t work for you, that’s okay.
