Complete transcript: Handling "Why don't you talk to us?" from your parents

Parent: "Why don't you talk to us? Your father and I get no updates on your life.
Person: Have you thought about why that might be mom? Well, it's because every time I share something with you, even if I say don't tell anyone else and I want to keep it private, you share it with people. You've done this since high school. And I would get so upset that people knew things about me that I don't want them to know.

It's not that I don't want to talk to you, it's that I can't trust that what I tell you won't be shared.

Parent: Ugh I forgot, I'm an awful person so my own child doesn't want to tell me anything.

Person: This would be another reason, I don't talk to you about things, because when I express how I feel, you immediately get defensive instead of taking a minute to think about if what I'm saying could be valid.
