It's rooted in a real pattern of how people tend to judge others

Here’s the truth behind it:

- When someone shares a lot, people often label them as “too much,” “dramatic,” or “attention-seeking.” But they don’t usually question if that person is fake—they just see them as emotionally intense or messy, not inauthentic.

- When someone shares very little, people often say things like “I don’t trust them,” “they’re hiding something,” or “they seem fake.” That’s because in many cultures, being open is equated with being real—so holding back is misunderstood.

But both are valid ways of being.
