Darling, if you want to get close to someone, whoever it is, please try to be mindful of your words.

I don't feel entitled to explain myself, but I want to be clear. It took me months to year(s) to get comfortable talking casually with “my friends”. I have a lot going on in my life, and I am working on trusting people. I don’t owe everyone anything. If you really want to be my friend, you could ask me about my hobbies.

Anyway, I accept your apology, sweetheart.
