I feel like I’m lying to my best friend even though it’s really personal?

Question

I’ve had really bad personal things happen to me and I don’t want to tell her but at the same time I don’t want to lie to her and I feel like I continuously lie to her and she knows. I’m trying to have a better relationship but I’m not even trustworthy I think. It’s hard. I don’t know how to not leave things out of the conversation.

Answer

You aren’t obligated to tell her anything. It’s your business.

Answer

If you've been through something traumatic, that's no one's business but your own. You don't owe it to anyone to account for your life. It's ok to have some privacy.

Answer

If you want to let her know, all you have to say is that “you’re going through some tricky stuff at the moment”, and she should respect your privacy if you don’t want to give her the full details. 
You shouldn’t feel obligated if you need to deal with it on your own, you don’t need to tell your friends everything.

Answer

You can tell whoever when you’re comfortable you don’t have to lie you can simply say you have personal things going on and it’s hard to talk about with people. Than ask if she will be patient until you are comfortable and ready to talk about it. It’s hard to talk about somethings and it’s never wrong to not want to discuss it with people. And it’s ok to say, “I’m not ready.” It’s ok to not want to say anything and it’s ok to say you aren’t. You don’t have to be lying.
