Why are people too open - minded or open about themselves and how do you handle them?

Question

I've heard, read and discussed topics or complains about how people can be too closed - minded or too reserved. Yet, I've never heard the other end of the spectrum.

Loyalty, honesty, genuine and substance are great characteristics to embody; however, if you tend to have the attributes they can hurt you or strain your relationships with others. It seems the other extreme can be as damaging.

Have you combatted a situation like this?

How do you handle a friend (s) who is/are like this?

Also, what information would you offer to someone who struggles with problem.

Thank you for your input.

Answer 1

I think its good to be open. If people cant accept who you are then who cares what they think? if you are the same way then stay away from the person that bothers you. Its good to be open at least they arent hiding who they are on the inside.
