A sweet, shy, soft-spoken friend who is usually quiet starts opening up to you one day, talking for a few minutes about some family things going on. Once she finishes talking to you, she pauses for a minute and realizes how much she has been talking, then apologizes to you for "rambling" so much.
What would you think?

That they are fearful of letting them self be that vunerable. Also that they are worried of being judge by what goies on in their private life.
Just reasure your friend that things are okay your always there to listen if the friend needs to talk.

I think she's feeling shy and embarressed for sharing so much.
You should definitely let her know that she wasn't "rambling" and try to make her feel like you care by asking questions and being supportive. Maybe she feels like she was rambling because you didn't respond (just guessing).
She obviously trusts you and it seems like you have a good opportunity to make a friend here.
Good Luck*

Maybe she just needed to let it out and really doesn't have anyone to talk to. If you are truly her friend, let her know that you are there for her and would like to help however you can.

I'd think that she still feels a little insecure about talking to you and is checking to see if it's okay to continue.

i would just think that she's not used to talking so much and is worried that she's taken to much of your time. no big deal.

Maybe your lack of response made her think she was boring you or bothering you.
