The letter discusses a friend's secretive behavior, where she shares very little about her life, even significant developments. This secrecy leads the narrator to feel undervalued in the friendship, as they regularly share personal experiences with her. There's a suggestion that the friend may be insecure, causing her to hold back information. The response encourages open communication about feelings and offers the option to adjust emotional investments in each other’s lives based on the level of mutual sharing.
It's starting to make me feel like I'm not really a close friend to her, even though I've always been open and vulnerable with her about my own life.
Recognize that this is her problem. You can tell her what you have noticed and how her secretiveness hurts your feelings.
You can also decide to stop sharing all of your life with her if she is unwilling to share hers.
