Feel a bit disappointed

Yesterday afternoon I suddenly got messages from a friend. She was one of my good friends before but we haven't kept in touch for a long time. I remember last time we had a contact and it was in 2019. I have to say that this seems to be a weird conversation. I still don't know why she kept asking me many very personal questions but she didn't mention hers. And this is why I don't feel very comfortable to it. This morning she contacted me again and it's the same. I don't like asking others privacy unless they say to me by themselves. Sometimes I prefer others to be frank as I have no clue to be questioned like a criminal. I have to say that sometimes the friendship can be changed a bit as time goes by...

You have to be wary of her.You have not seen her for quite some time and don't know what has happened to her over the years.

I understand . I really can't figure it out why she suddenly kept asking me so many personal questions. This is not like a normal communication, especially we haven't contacted to each other for a long time. If we often contact to each other, then it'll be alright.

That does sound odd... I wonder why she was asking you personal questions? I would have asked her what she was thinking. I hope everything is okay with her and she's just worried about something and needs to ask the questions to confirm things in her own mind.

This is also what I think and hopefully she is OK. Unfortunately this is not a pleasant contact to me this time.

Yeah, that does sound kinda weird. It’s nice when old friends pop back up, but it can feel off when they start asking super personal questions and don’t share anything about themselves. Friendship really does change over time, and sometimes people don’t realize they’re pushing boundaries. Just share only what you’re comfortable with. There is nothing wrong with keeping a bit of distance if the vibe feels off.

@annierose I hope this is not her reason. After all, she works in a bank and namely her income shall be fine.

You are right. It's really so strange to keep asking me very personal questions. This is not really like a good start to have a conversation.

@youless I remember a former classmate who messaged me a long time ago. At first, I thought he just wanted to reminisce about our high school days. But, later on, he asked me for money, which according to him is for emergency purposes, so I helped him out. After that, though, he kept asking money again for different reasons. That's when I started to feel disappointed, because it seemed like he only reaches out when he needs something and not because he genuinely cared or wanted to reconnect. AT the end, I just decided to stop talking to him.

Life does things to people, you will be surprised what it does to people. That being said, good for you for understanding that.

I would not answer, how can you be sure that she really is your friend? After all it's a long time you are not in touch. I would ask her why she is asking personal questions.

This is my weak point. Sometimes I am considerate and polite. Such as she asked me questions about my son and I had to tell her that he would start his doctor study after bachelor graduation next year. But it's not finished and she kept asking me whether he will have income during doctor study, whether he will be hired after doctor degree graduation etc. Finally I had to tell her that I really don't know as he has not started doctor study yet. And she asked whether my husband is retired. I had to tell her that males will be retired at least after 60 (and actually my husband is just older than me 4 years and she shall know it's a long time for him to be retired). Questions like these and it really makes me feel uncomfortable.

@youless - I would also be uncomfortable, I would say that she was not at all polite asking so many personal questions, this is odd.

Well, friendship must be mutual or any relationship for that matter.

this sounds very suspicious, why would she want to know such a personal question from you.

I also wonder this. And it is not only one personal question, but many personal questions.

I answered most of them as I didn't know how to avoid it.

Are you sure it's even her? It could be a scammer impersonating her, trying to get you to give up private information.

This is a good question. I haven't thought about this. But I think it's her since she mentioned my husband and son etc.

I have had friends in my lifetime that changed a lot and we are no longer close. It is sad when this happens.

We all change with time I guess but I wouldn't enjoy being questioned in this way.
